Pump.fun has officially launched Pump Fund, an investment arm aimed at accelerating disruptive projects in the tech startup ecosystem, with a focus on Solana and other web3 verticals. The flagship initiative is the BiP Hackathon, a $3 million fund to back innovative ventures.

The BiP Hackathon will select 12 technology-based projects, each receiving $250,000 in funding. Combined, these ventures will be valued at $10 million and will also gain direct mentorship from Pump.fun’s founders. The program targets proposals with potential impact in DeFi, social-fi, gaming, infrastructure, and new applications within the Solana stack.

Beyond capital, winners will gain access to Pump.fun’s network and hands-on mentorship, ranging from investor access and strategic connections to product and scalability guidance.

The BiP initiative represents a significant opportunity for Latino entrepreneurs seeking visibility and capital for their projects. In a competitive funding landscape, programs like this accelerate validation, market access, and product development, guided by mentors who have walked the path. It also raises the bar for professionalizing crypto and tech hackathons.

The Pump.fun BiP Hackathon marks a milestone for the web3 ecosystem and opens doors for startups aiming high with strategic support.

If you’re a founder seeking external capital, mentorship, and global connections, such calls can be a turning point in your project’s trajectory.
