We’re Almost There!
In just two weeks, we’ll be concluding our Fall program with Demo Day. This has no doubt been an exceptionally difficult year for both us and our startups, but we are proud of our leadership, participants, sponsors, community members, and all of you for being here with us on our journey. Our startups have been able to hear from speakers like David Hornik and Peter Ziebelman, access free legal advice from Fenwick and design their PR strategies with Publicize, and connect with alumni of ours from the past five years.
Cardinal Ventures opened with a whole new team this year; none of us had any experience running accelerators, much less virtual accelerators. Advice from fellow startup accelerators helped us greatly in planning for the fall. Ultimately, we proceeded with regular meetings one to two times a week paired with weekly accountability circles. Finally, we ran two cycles of mentorship with CV mentors and Stanford DCI fellows, where our startups were able to connect with advisors, industry leaders, and investors.
We’ve been slowly spotlighting our startups in our newsletter for the past couple of weeks and cannot wait to unveil them all in two weeks. Make sure to grab your tickets to our Demo Day on Thursday, December 3rd from 4:00–6:00pm PST here today!
If you’re a startup interested in joining us — we’re also extremely excited to announce that we will run a second program during the spring as well! Check back in during winter quarter for application details, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
