Creative Destruction Lab Admission
Concord announced today that it was accepted into the competitive Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) program at the University of British Columbia. Concord will participate in CDL’s “compute stream,” which supports companies seeking to commercialize new computing hardware and software technologies that are massively scalable.
“Our admission into the CDL program reinforces that Concord’s core concept - that people should have direct ownership and control of their data and that, when they do, both people and companies benefit - is one that warrants earnest consideration for widespread adoption,” said Concord CEO Dashiell Lavine. “We are pleased to join the program and want to thank CDL for our acceptance and the work we are about to embark upon together.”
The CDL program involves mentorship from select entrepreneurs and angel investors, opportunities to raise capital, advice on technology roadmaps from CDL’s Chief Scientists, and business development support from top students. CDL participants work with these mentors to sharpen objectives, prioritize time and resources, raise capital, and engage with experts working on the frontiers of research.
As part of the program, Concord will attend five in-person objective-setting sessions between October and June. The goal is to learn from the insights of experienced entrepreneurs, increasing the probability of success in terms of company growth and scaling — especially as Concord looks to expand its product offerings into the Web3 space.
