Editor's Notes Here's an opportunity at the intersection of cities and startups: Conscious Venture Lab, the Baltimore accelerator focused around impact-driven companies and "urban resilience," has applications open for a new cohort that will run from June - October. The accelerator, which is also part of a fund that has invested half its capital in women and minority-owned businesses, went virtual in 2020 as it partnered with Annapolis' FounderTrac. One result: Its cohort size expanded to more than 40 companies. Apply here by April 5. Plus, if you're looking for some weekend reading, we spotted Conscious Venture Lab founder Jeff Cherry in this Business Insider profile of 10 business leaders fighting to make the Black experience a permanent part of corporate America. —Stephen Babcock, Technical.ly Assistant Editor, (stephen@technical.ly) |
