The founder believes Bion’s partnership with TON Ventures marks only the beginning of a long journey, with plans to lay a strong foundation that will support Bion’s expansion.
Looking Ahead
With this investment, Bion is preparing to scale rapidly, with a vision to lead the web3 shopping category. Over the coming weeks, the company will focus on team expansion, technological improvements, and setting the groundwork to bring web3 shopping to millions of users worldwide.
