Conscious Venture Lab 6 Urban Resilience
The CVLab Accelerator program is an intensive 4-month study in Consciousness, Customers, and Capital. That is, building a foundation of purpose for your business, and helping you to develop no-nonsense customer acquisition capabilities. We will then align you with like-minded sources of capital. Many accelerators spend what we think is an inordinate amount of time prepping their entrepreneurs for the investor demonstration or “Demo” Day. While we value practice and preparation we think smart investors will get just as excited about a business model validated by real customers as they might be about a really slick presentation. Our investor day will be about demonstrating traction. We’ll work with you to drive customer validation, not just to create a pretty presentation. We think our investors will like that.
