Applications for cohort 13 close tomorrow‼️ Cohort 11 alum, period.(dot), shares their experience going through the program. "Being part of Cohort 11 at the Conscious Venture Lab was a transformative experience for us. Before joining, we had a compelling vision and a promising idea, but we lacked the roadmap to bring it to life. As underrepresented founders, we are deeply committed to building products that drive meaningful change, and we sought a program that shared our belief in using business as a force for good. CVL not only provided us with invaluable mentorship and strategic guidance but also helped us evolve our vision into a thriving, sustainable company. The program connected us to an exceptional network of industry experts, seasoned coaches, and supportive businesses who guided us at every turn. If you have a bold idea and a passion for creating positive impact, we can’t recommend CVL highly enough. You’ll gain not just a business foundation but also a community that champions your success. We’re proud to be part of the CVL family."

Professor Saras from Darden at the University of Virginia recently shared valuable insights with cohort 12 about the concept of affordable loss and how our values shape the risks we take on our entrepreneurial journeys. "We all have a list of values, and nobody will risk what they value the most." Sometimes we are risk-averse, risk-loving, or even risk-neutral depending on the time in our lives. Your list of values will determine which you are at that moment. Our accelerator program is an opportunity to learn from our network of experienced founders in a fresh perspective—discover how to leverage your values, consider all stakeholders, and embrace conscious capitalism to enhance your venture's impact and align it with your purpose. Applications for Spring Cohort 13 are now open!
