Second Round of Blockchain Incubation Program Started in Crypto Valley

After the completion of the inaugural CV Labs Incubation Program, the second batch of incubatees has now started the unique program in the heart of the Crypto Valley. 

For the second round of the incubation program, CV VC has evaluated applications of 300+ Blockchain startups and ultimately selected 9 promising projects from 6 different countries. Startups selected into the program receive up to CHF 125,000 in return for 10% of equity. Like last time, all international startups are relocating their founding team and business to Zug (CV Labs) for the duration of the incubation program or longer. 

During the 10-weeks long program, startups receive training for pitching, fundraising, business strategy, token economy, operational excellence and get the chance to meet international investors and industry leaders. 

CV VC Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer Olaf Hannemann on the startups and selection process: “The ideas and projects out there are clearly getting more mature. It’s impressive to see the broad variety of use-cases that can be solved or improved with the use of blockchain technology. I am excited that we have been able to attract such a variety of ideas from all over the world to join our incubator in Zug, as it demonstrates both the attractiveness of Switzerland as a blockchain hub as well as CV VC´s  global reach.”
