Key Points
- CZ also joined YZi Labs to drive people-centered biotech and healthcare solutions.
- Together with YZi Labs and others, Binance's founder helps build a better future for humanity.
On July 1st, Binance's founder, Changpeng Zhao, shared a post on his X account, detailing a collaboration with YZi Labs in charity-related work supporting global healthcare. In his message, CZ also mentioned a BNB donation to Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum's co-founder, for his open-source biotech efforts.
Buterin has been actively involved in supporting biosecurity and pandemic prevention, among others, by donating funds. His support extends to longevity research, with various initiatives including VitaDAO Longevity Fellowship, aimed at student grants and early-career individuals interested in longevity.
CZ's Support for Healthcare Efforts and Charity
In his post on X, CZ said that the best way to attract mission-driven talent is to have conviction yourself because like-minded people naturally come together. He mentioned his recent $10 million in BNB support for Buterin's open-source biotech efforts and other YZi Labs investments.
YZI Labs invests in all-stage ventures with strong fundamentals in the Web3 ecosystem, AI, and healthcare.
CZ also shared a post by Jane Sparking, general partner at YZi Labs, called "Advance Humanity: Joining YZi Labs to Drive People-Centered Biotech and Healthcare Solutions."
In her post, Jane mentioned the first time she sat down with CZ, talking about science and people - patients, families, and innovators who often lack a voice.
She said that since that discussion, she has been working alongside CZ to guide investments in biotech and healthcare, highlighting that for him, this is not about chasing success, but about challenging a system that usually puts profits before people.
For CZ, investing in biotech is an act of defiance and a way to open doors for dreamers and people with ideas that could change the world, if given a chance.
A New World in Which Fairness and Innovation Coexist
Jane also highlighted that CZ believes that you can build something ambitious without losing sight of the people that it's meant to serve. She said that he backs founders who are often overlooked, he bets on new science, models, and new ways of thinking, without being afraid to take risks on people who want to change the world.
Together with CZ, Jane and YZi Labs are working to create a new world in which:
- Patients have better choices
- Scientists aren't boxed in by bureaucracy
- Small teams with big ideas can push the boundaries of what's possible
- Lives are changed for the better
Jane finished her post by saying that although CZ could have taken an easier path, he chose the hard road of working to fix what needs fixing most and build a better world, one life at a time.
CZ, together with YZi Labs (formerly known as Binance Labs) and Binance's charity efforts, set an example for others to follow in their quest to change this world and create a better future.
