We are committed to changing the world, and we believe blockchain technology will play a fundamental role in that change. Because of this, we started our blockchain accelerator, which provides a select group of startups with a vast pool of experts and relevant knowledge in the field.
Our previous batches
In April of 2019, the very first edition of the CV Labs Accelerator started. Over the course of ten weeks, twelve startups from eight different countries and four continents participated in Batch_01 of the CV Labs Accelerator in Crypto Valley, Zug. Participating in various events, participants had the opportunity to present to over 100 investors and industry experts, which has led to partnerships for some of the startups.
Our previous batches
Because of its previous success, the CV Labs Accelerator took place again in 2020, Batch_02. For the second edition of the program, we evaluated applications of 300+ blockchain startups and ultimately selected nine startups from six different countries. After ten weeks, they successfully passed the graduation at Demo Day.
Our previous batches
The third batch of our CV Labs Accelerator was unlike the editions before, as it took place entirely virtually for the six participating startups. We built an online platform where mentors, experts, and participating startups connected and co-worked. New teaching and learning mediums such as videos from Crypto Valley and global industry experts were published each week, combined with live workshops.
Our previous batches
Batch_04 officially kicked off in May 2022 with an in-person Bootcamp! The seven selected teams were invited to Zug, Switzerland, where a diverse program consisting of pitch training, business fundamentals, and networking opportunities filled the week. After our participants got to know one another, they continued the program online, with a fantastic Demo Day as the big finale.
Our previous batches
What better way is there to start Batch_05 than with a team-building day? The nine selected startups joined us in Zug, Switzerland, for a week of activities such as networking, events, workshops, and lectures. During the program, our entrepreneurs achieved one milestone after the other, leading up to one of our most exciting Demo Days as of yet, with over 200 investors signed up to join.
Our previous batches
CV Labs Accelerator Batch_06 must have been one of the most international batches yet! With eleven founders from ten different countries, there was never a dull moment during the ten-week program. With live workshops, mentorship hours, and a week in Switzerland, our founders grew exponentially. And they got to show it all off during Demo Day, where 100+ VCs, investors, and Web3 ecosystem players came to watch them pitch.
