Our heart is for Christian Professional Women who seek to live and lead as Christ's own
Professional Christian Women (PCW) is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging women in the workplace to use their God given "work gene" to live out their faith in the workplace
Our history:
In 2005, Cheryl Scanlan had a vision for ministering to women in the marketplace in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. Her idea was to provide a forum for Christian Businesswomen to encourage one another through panel topics, discussions and prayer for one other.
September of 2013 — Cheryl met Kevin McCarthy, CEO of On-Purpose Partners who connected Cheryl with his business partner Mary Tomlinson for a 'meet and greet' since Mary had just moved from Orlando, Florida to Wake Forest, NC.
November 2013, Mary and Cheryl met for coffee. What they thought was a simple social connection became so much more, when, during that meeting, Cheryl discovered that Mary sat on the board of an organization in Florida called J4 that ministered to Christian businesswomen in the marketplace in Orlando. They were stunned that their visions and concepts almost perfectly mirrored one another.
Sensing God's calling, they decided to move forward for a group in the Raleigh area to minister to Christian businesswomen.
By the end of 2014, the newly formed group called PCW (Professional Christian Women), had met 6 times, engaged 21 panel speakers and built a database of over 300 women! There was a certainty of God's leading and the need for this type of organization.
Today, PCW is a registered non-profit and serving women in Raleigh, RTP, the Piedmont Triad area and considering other locations around Raleigh and around the country.
Join us on this journey of what God is doing in and through Professional Christian Women!
2019 Board of Directors
PCW Statement of Faith
- There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- Adam and Eve were created in the image of God but sinned, and through their disobedience, sin and death entered into the world.
- Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, fully man and fully God born of a virgin. He suffered, died, was buried and rose again on the third day to satisfy the atonement needs of the Father for the sins of all people.
- Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of all people, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through saving faith.
- Salvation is a gift from God and is not as a result of our works. Upon salvation, God extends His righteousness to us because of the sacrificial and finished work of Jesus on the cross.
- Once saved, the Holy Spirit then dwells in the saved one. Through this indwelling, the saved one is guided in their walk, assured of their faith and gifted for the work of a disciple.
- The Holy Spirit convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness is manifest in the believer's life by faith.
- At the time of physical death, believers pass from one life to be present with the Lord to fellowship with Him. Unbelievers at the time of death, experience eternal separation from the Lord and await the final judgment.
- Believers are commanded to meet regularly for the purpose of worship and encouragement in their faith.
- Believers are to share the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether in our communities, a foreign land, the marketplace or our own homes, we are to sow seeds of the Kingdom of God.

But I thought this mean-spirited article by Lisa Belkin on HuffPo, was pretty uncalled-for. Apparently, like us, Ms. Mayer has been blessed with an "easy" baby. Not to mention, she has help - her husband reportedly stays at home, plus I'm sure neither of them shleps to the grocery store or cleans their own bathrooms. Not unlike our current situation.
But apparently she's not allowed to call it like it is, because "it turns her into one of those mothers we don't like very much." I'm sure Ms. Mayer doesn't particularly care, of course. But the article goes further and makes these dire predictions about how her baby could change in an instant, and how she shouldn't be too smug, etc. etc.
And the comments? Even worse. They seem to be wishing her all sorts of ill will, and warning her about all of the rough patches that (may not) come ahead.
While I do not aspire to her version of work life "balance", I'm not rooting for her to fail, or waiting for her to eat her words, as several commenters seem to be doing. I hope baby Macallister continues to be easy, because honestly, that makes parenting that much more fun. It's easier to be patient when someone isn't demanding your time and energy 24x7 by yelling.
People, it's not a reflection of your own parenting when other people say they're having an easier time of it. I'm not sure why it's so hard to get that.
People, it's not a reflection of your own parenting when other people say they're having an easier time of it. I'm not sure why it's so hard to get that.
Apparently, while we're allowed to talk on the Internet all we want about how parenting sucks and babies are hard, we're not allowed to breathe one word of how some babies actually do sleep long stretches regularly or are generally "easy". I've seen this in real life as well as online, and it frustrates me.
I don't think anyone with an "easy" baby is deluded into thinking it's their excellent parenting that made it so - it's totally the luck of the draw. In fact, before BabyM was born, I was sure she wouldn't be as chill as her big sister, and that we'd have to "pay" for the relatively easy babyhood we had with T. (We haven't, knock on wood.)
|Clearly, it's our excellent parenting at work here.
Why do we think like that? Is it an American thing? In Seattle people talk about "doing penance" for our gorgeous summers by living through 9 months of gray. I think that's a depressing way to look at things.
What I've found is that if I dread something to come (terrible twos, potty training, etc.) it *feels* worse than if I just accept it as developmentally appropriate for my kid. And yes, even parents of "easy" babies have things that are "harder" than others.
But all the "you'll see, it's harder than you think" stuff? It's condescending and just plain annoying. Wouldn't it be great if we could just accept that all experiences are equally valid and sometimes people just get lucky?

Gematsu: "The official Japanese website for Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Battle went up with two new videos today. The first, a gameplay clip, shows off Pegasus Seiya—wearing the Gold Cloth of Sagittarius—in the heat of battle. The second, a TV spot, gives us a fifteen look at what to expect come release date."
I kind of wish they do Lost Canvas its so much better then Saint Seiya.

The office pools have begun, which can mean only one thing: The NCAA men's basketball tournament is about to begin. Billions of dollars will change hands in sports' biggest betting extravaganza, while TV sets, desktop computers and mobile devices bring live video to even the most casual observer.
And remember, odds are good it will be the most casual observer that will win the office pool. Don't take it too personally, sports fans.
Storylines are aplenty every tournament, but the 2014 version seems to have even more than usual. Of course, that could be because we're in Kansas. The Sunflower State has plenty to boast about, as Kansas State University, the University of Kansas and Wichita State University all made it to the Big Dance.
The Shockers are the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region. They simply haven't lost since being upended in the Final Four last year by eventual national champion Louisville. At 34-0, Wichita State is the first team to enter the tournament undefeated since UNLV in 1990-91. The Shockers could face K-State in the third round if the Wildcats survive their first game with Wildcats of the Kentucky variety. The Midwest Region is considered the toughest draw this year, as Michigan, Duke and Louisville also are in the bracket.
KU has an easier bracket, but the team is second-seeded to the tournament's overall top squad, Florida. The two elite programs could be on a collision course for the Elite Eight round. The Jayhawks feature two freshmen who could be the top two picks in the next NBA draft. It will be interesting to see Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid play in their one and only NCAA tourney. Of course, Embiid's back has to heal first, but he's expected back by the fourth round.
Speaking of coming back, former KU superstar Danny Manning is dancing this year as a coach. The Tulsa Golden Hurricanes are in the South Region along with Kansas.
Of the 14 schools that have won multiple NCAA championships, only two didn't make it to this year's tourney -- Indiana and San Francisco. The other 12 ready to add to their legacies are UCLA, KU, Florida, Oklahoma State, Cincinnati, Connecticut, North Carolina, Duke, Michigan State, Kentucky, North Carolina State and Louisville.
Two teams made the tourney for the first time: North Carolina Central and California Polytechnic State University -- or Cal Poly. The Big 12 has the most representation in the tournament with seven teams.
We could throw more trivia your way, but time's a-wastin'. You've got a bracket or two to fill out. If you're feeling particularly knowledgeable or lucky, check out Warren Buffett's challenge. He's taken out an insurance policy that will pay $1 billion for a perfect bracket.
Odds of that happening are 1:9,223,372,036,854,775,808.
Good luck, and enjoy the madness.

This is a graduate level course open to students in the Masters of Marine Science program and other graduate programs at Memorial University. The goal of the course is to provide students with a general but broad understanding of the data, methods and models used by stock assessment scientists and fisheries research. The course covers the basic quantitative methods and models used in fisheries, including data inputs and models. Emphasis is placed on how fish stocks and fisheries respond under exploitation, biomass dynamic models, age structured models, and acoustic and trawl surveys.
The Fisheries Conservation Group is a research group created at the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University in 1996, to develop an independent fisheries research and training program with a focus on the fisheries ecosystems of the Northwest Atlantic.
Community structure, function and distribution of northern coastal fishes in fjords and estuarine environments. Emphasis on sampling, field techniques, taxonomy, quantitative characterization, adaptations and habitat relationships. A comparative approach will contrast fish communities from deepwater, estuarine, near shore and freshwater habitats.
Dr. Joe Wroblewski and his graduate students are investigating local fisheries resources of the southeastern Labrador coast which are utilized by coastal communities, but which have not been scientifically documented. We are working with Labrador residents to study the ecology of these living marine resources. We have focused on bay cod and Icelandic scallop, specifically to understand the productivity of the wild stocks and the potential for aquaculture (Wroblewski et al., 1998).

A couple who have lived a Northamptonshire village all their married life have celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary.
Leslie, aged 86 and Christine Jones, aged 80, got married in Pattishall church on September 10, 1955 and have lived in Byfield ever since.
The couple's early courtship in the 1950s was interrupted when Mrs Jones contracted TB and had to have a major operation to save her life.
Mrs Jones spent 14 months away from her husband in Rushden as she recuperated after her operation.
Mr and Mrs Jones have two daughters, four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren
The pair are both long-standing members of the Royal British Legion and helped deliver 'meals on wheels' for many years.
Mrs Jones said: "It is all about give and take. It has not always been smooth and no marriages are. We have always got round our little problems."

Her scientific interests include applications of neutron science to automotive, aerospace, ICT and cultural heritage. She has realized over 90 experimental campaigns at neutron and synchrotron radiation facilities, a large number of which performed at the ISIS Spallation Neutro (Annex I). She has authored more 400 publications, She contributed to the design and construction of the PRISMA, TOSCA, eVs and VESUVIO beamlines and pioneered and contributed to the development of the neutron spectroscopy at the Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering (DINS) technique on eVs and VESUVIO bemalines. In 2006 she proposed the use of the high energy neutron spectrum from the spallation sources to mimic the cosmic ray flux responsible for single event upsets in electronic chips and pioneered the accelerated atmospheric neutron testing at ISIS [C. Andreani et al.Applied Physics Letters, 92, 114101 (2008). This work paved the way to the design of a novel beam-line at ISIS, the Chipir instrument at ISIS Target station 2. She is currently a member of the Chipir experimental team at the ISIS neutron facility. She delivered over one hundred seminars and colloquia and served in the organization of national and international conference/workshop/schools and as a member of national and international scientific advisory committees.

Research in brief:
- Study of the structure and dynamics of quantum systems, hydrogen bonded molecular fluids and solids, disordered systems.
- Design and development of neutron scattering instrumentation at the eV and MeV energies, related techniques and methods
Since 1981 CA has been working on the design and construction of neutron instrumentation and techniques tailored to expand the understanding of interatomic and intermolecular interactions in fluids and hydrogen bonded systems. She worked at the industrial applications of neutron science for the study of residual stress in materials at Harwell Linac (UK) [A. J. Allen, et al. Advances in Physics 34, 445 (1985)]. In the period 1985-2007 she designed and developed instrumentation, techniques and methods at ISIS neutron facility (UK): for example she designed and realized the PRISMA, TOSCA, eVs and VESUVIO beamlines and pioneered and contributed to the development of the neutron spectroscopy at the Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering (DINS) technique on eVs and VESUVIO bemalines. In 2006 she proposed the use of the high energy neutron spectrum from the spallation sources to mimic the cosmic ray flux responsible for single event upsets in electronic chips and pioneered the accelerated atmospheric neutron testing at ISIS [C. Andreani et al. Applied Physics Letters, 92, 114101 (2008). Such tests mimic the real disruptions and failure, the so-called 'single event effects' experienced by electronics, and allow industry to develop strategies, designs and methods to mitigate their effects. This work paved the way to the design of a novel beam-line at ISIS, the Chipir instrument at ISIS Target station 2. She is currently a member of the Chipir experimental team at the ISIS neutron facility. The major breakthroughs achieved during her career are summarized as follow:
- pioneering industrial applications of neutron scattering through the determination of residual stress in materials;
- exploiting electron volt spectroscopy, DINS techniques, related methods and technologies to enable neutron scattering measurements to reach attosecond time scales;
- promoting and contributing to exploiting the use of gamma detectors in eV neutron spectroscopy at ISIS pulsed neutron source;
- pioneering the use of MeV energy neutron at the spallation neutron sources for rapid testing of effects of high energy neutrons on electronic devices and contributed to the design and construction of ChiPIR at ISIS;
- pioneering the use of neutrons to explore Cultural Heritage.

This is the article for anyone looking for home renovation advice. This article was written to help you figure out what you can do to perform home improvements yourself. Use the following information as a jumping-off point for your own home improvement journey; this is just the beginning of your education on the subject!
Think about refinishing your cabinetry instead of putting in new ones. Paint all of the bases and replace the doors and hardware to get a new look. It will bring your kitchen into a much more modern look without the high ticket price.
In home improvement, you should focus on making improvements that are highly visible. Potential buyers base their judgment on things they see, and having unsightly things such as cracked and peeling paint or a yard overgrown with weeds can be a cause for them to walk from a good deal. While visual improvements aren't always the most important, they are when it comes to selling your house.
The key to home improvement projects is to have fun! Of course, doing a good job is paramount, but you should still enjoy the completion of a project. If you aren't enjoying the project, it's more likely that you'll make mistakes. Consider hiring a professional if you feel that this is happening to you.
Always check the legitimacy of any company you plan to hire for your home project. If a firm does not have a street address and uses just the phone, they may not be reputable. Try choosing companies with strong reputations.
The right light in a space can make all the difference. An adequately bright room will be warm and inviting. Think about getting an additional light fixture. Increasing the light in darker rooms will do wonders to improve the look of your entire house.
By using the tips from this piece, you now better know how to make home improvements. Get your plan in place. By following these tips, you will get great results.

If you're a size 6 like me, you'll find this really loose on the top half of this playsuit.
$39.95 – The Iconic
The first playsuit I've purchased, I wanted something casual, summery and not too bright or revealing. Yep, too picky. When it came in (loving the 3hour delivery option) I immediately liked the light quality and how bright the colours came out. The only downfall was that, size 6 of this playsuit was too loose!! I'll just have to wear something on top to keep the sleeves falling off.
The back has a simple cross detail, not showing too much skin. Overall, a decent purchase that can be matched with many casual dress items.

Who Do You Dress For?
When I first came to Smith three years ago, I thought that one of the benefits of going to a women's college would be that most of the time, I wouldn't need to consider what boys would think of my outfit when I got dressed in the morning. I could wear pajamas to class without second guessing what my crush might think of me, I'd never have to be self-conscious about not wearing makeup. It wasn't long before I realized that the benefits of looking put-together extended well past getting guys to like me.
Even if I spend most of my day in the company of women, I still make sure that I leave the house every morning (or at least most mornings) feeling good about what I'm wearing and how I look. When I'm happy with how I'm presenting myself to the world, I feel more confident and self-assured in all my actions throughout the day. Even though my daily wardrobe is pretty basic (usually consisting of a sweater, jeans, flats and a dressy coat), I feel 100 times better on days when I put a little effort into my look than when I spend the day in sweats. And I really believe that other people (mainly my classmates and professors) treat me differently when my appearance is more put-together and mature.
I think that part of growing up is recognizing that it's far more fulfilling to dress for yourself than to dress to impress other people, particularly men. I got to thinking about this topic when I read this recent Fashionista post which discussed how many Middle Eastern women incorporate fashion into their lives, even if it's hidden under a robe or only shown to other women on special occasions. The article referenced in the post mentions how many teenage girls own Western clothing that they only wear in the privacy of their bedrooms. There's no question that fashion is transformative and empowering, but it's interesting that the effect is still so strong even if no one else sees what you're wearing. I'm not a big lingerie person, but I have a number of friends who love wearing beautiful lingerie on a daily basis, and I think it follows the same idea.
When people say that women dress only for other women and not for men, I tend to think they're neglecting a third category- those who dress for themselves. I really think that if you polled that third group, they would have the highest levels of confidence and satisfaction.
What do you think?

Insights & PerspectivesPosted by Natalie Wed, November 23, 2016 15:26:00
Something that catched my attention lately
a) because I had health-issues myself
b) I examined others health-issues in sessions
is the fact that an emotional wound can cause quite painful physical experiences also.
As this has been the planet of madness for a long time, we all experienced quite unpleasant things. And when you experienced painful encounters maybe very intensely, or maybe very often plus you may have a genetic disposition in your family, as this is an old issue from your ancestors, you might literally get sick from someone elses mean actions and words towards you.
Seems to be very injustice, that these persons can do you harm. Yes and no.
See, hurt people hurt people. They did you wrong, cause they themselves are living in a kind of hell. And you, somehow, let them into the temple, that is your bodysystem.
When we are lightworkers, maybe very empathic, open, loving and want to help others, we might be too open for all kinds of influences.
If we see our body as the temple for our holy soul, we first have to clean him. If you´ve got an health issue you may travel to this part of your body, examine the issue and talk to your body. This is your body, cooperate with him.
We have to embody our body fully. The more we bring the light into the body, the more we unite body and soul. Than this body becomes our temple.
Others are very welcome to this temple – when they come with love and respect.
Imagine you´d be a priest/ess in a holy temple. For sure that´s easy to imagine. Most of us have been in other lifetimes. How would you welcome someone to the temple? Very open and loving. And when they don´t behave? What if they come in drunk, making noise, bringing in dirt, yell at the priest/ess, try to sell their stuff?
Well, you will remind them where they are, tell them that you like to have them here, but that this is a holy place. If they don´t listen? You tell them to leave. If they still don´t behave? Kick them out!
People are at very different points in their journey. You won´t reach everyone with nice words (but much more than one might imagine). But some are just looking for trouble, some are just full of poison and hatred. They need to play that out before they are ready for the next step. Well they don´t have to act it out in your life, having an impact on your body. Don´t allow it.
Be open like a membran – with semipermiability, letting the wanted stuff in and the unwanted out. We´ve got to learn that ablity.
Well sometimes stuff that hurts us is coming from people that are very close and dear to us, the closer they are the bigger might be the impact on our emotional and physical body. As described above it might help to talk to yourself, to find out what is the issue and to heal it.
Make yourself aware, that the one trying to attac you did so because s/he has been forgetful in that moment. We all are once in a while. If they are very often forgetful, remind you that you are the temple and don´t let them. Everyone that is hateful, angry, rejecting or tries to bring you down in any form, feels this way about him/herself. It is true that they are doing that literally to themselves. Imagine in what a hell they might live. Well, and than decide to not share that hell, cause that won´t help them, but injure you. Instead bringing in awareness that you are the sacred temple and keep your temple clean.
Shine your light!

Key Dates for the Program
Dreamit is a hybrid accelerator model, with founders participating in the 14-week program both virtually and in person. Each week, founders will meet with their vertical-specific Managing Director and Program Manager to strategize, pressure test ideas, refine core business components, get ready to meet with customers, and make sure the team is prepared for intense investor meetings. During key dates, founders must commit to traveling with the Dreamit team and other members of the cohort.
Dreamit Kickoff | March 25 - 29, 2019 | This is an opportunity for you to bond with the other members of the cohort and the Dreamit team. During this week we'll do our first deep dive into your business so we can understand your strengths and weakness. As well, you'll hear 6 - 10 talks from Dreamit leaders going over core concepts where we find most pre-Series A startups can use significant strengthening and that will greatly impact your long-term success. You will be required to be in with us this entire week but can use Friday as a travel day. The kickoff will take place in the US (city TBD).
Customer Sprint | April 29 - May 10, 2019 | During the 2-week Customer Sprint, you will pitch your startup to enterprise-level organizations in cities like New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, and Tampa Bay. There will also be other opportunities throughout the program to meet with customers in other geographies.
Investor Sprint | June 17 - June 28, 2019 | Dreamit's 14-week cycle culminates in a highly curated, 2-week, bi-coastal series of one-on-one meetings with institutional investors in their offices. Dreamit's Investor Sprint is a faster, more efficient way to raise a round versus a typical "Demo Day" since at best, Demo Day can only lead to an investor meeting. In advance of the Investor Sprint, Dreamit startups receive intensive pitch prep and go through demanding mock-VC meetings. Weeks in advance, Dreamit's Platform team reaches out to our investor network to lock in and coordinate a bespoke multi-city Investor Roadshow for each startup. Typically, Dreamit startups have one-on-one investor meetings, as appropriate to their vertical, in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, New York City, and DC, Boston.
*Note: Dates subject to change slightly.
Do I have to do both weeks of Customer Sprints back-to-back?
Accepted startups must complete at least one week of the two-week Customer Sprint in the Dreamit cohort they are accepted into. We understand that some startups are so busy they don't want to be on the road non-stop for 2 weeks meeting with potential customers. We allow founders to defer one week of the two-week Customer Sprint until a later accelerator cycle. For example, if you are accepted into the Spring cycle and want to defer one week of the Customer Sprint, you have the opportunity to join the next Fall startups during their Customer Sprint process. After you accept your Dreamit offer and as you begin the Dreamit kickoff week, approximately 4 weeks prior to when the Customer Sprint will occur, you will discuss with your Dreamit Managing Director and Program Manager your Customer Sprint options and if you want to defer one of the two weeks.
Can I defer my Investor Sprint? Do I have to do both Investor Sprint weeks back-to-back?
If you are not fundraising or have just completed a capital raise, you can defer the Investor Sprint until a future cohort of the accelerator, for up to one year. For example, if you are accepted into the Spring cycle and elect to defer the Investor Sprint, you would have the opportunity to join the Fall or following Spring Investor Sprint. As well, if you want to split up the two Investor Sprint weeks across cycles, you may do so. Some startups are so busy they don't want to travel and meet with investors in their offices, nearly back-to-back, for two weeks. Or they want to take one week and "take the temperature" for a future round and then go out later for a week for the actual raise. After you accept your Dreamit offer and as you begin the Dreamit kickoff week, approximately 11 weeks prior to when the Investor Sprint will occur, you will discuss with your Dreamit Managing Director and Program Manager your Investor Sprint options and if you want to defer one or both of the two weeks of the Investor Sprint.
At what stage should my startup apply to Dreamit?
Dreamit is looking for startups that are ready to scale and have early revenue or pilots. If a startup does not meet these criteria, the team cannot take full advantage of the program which involves presenting to customers and forming partnerships with large organizations. Startups should also have at least 6 months of runway when entering the program.
When will I hear back if I've been accepted?
Startups can expect to hear back from the Dreamit team within a month of the application deadline with news about whether they have been selected to interview with the Dreamit team and customer partners. Please do not reach out to us directly to ask the status of your application -- we promise that we're working on it and will be in touch. Unfortunately, due to the large volume of applications that we receive, we generally cannot provide feedback on specific applications. Our team reviews every application that we receive. If we have any questions, we'll reach out to you directly for clarification. After we review all applications, we'll begin to schedule final round interviews with select companies. You should receive an automated email confirming you have completed all steps of the process. Tip: More than half of the applications come in on the final week, so if you want us to spend more time on your application, we strongly recommend that you apply early.
How many members of my team need to actively participate in the program?
The CEO and at least one other key team member must be prepared to participate fully in the program, including all required preparation sessions as well as the Customer Sprint and the Investor Sprint.
How can I set up a call with a member of the Dreamit team?
Complete the first page of the application here, and you will receive a message from a Dreamit team member. You can ask questions via email or request a time to speak over the phone.
How do I complete my application and confirm my application has submitted?
You will receive an automated email confirming submission at each of the six steps of the process. You can start the first step here.
Does Dreamit take equity in my company?
Dreamit has re-engineered the accelerator model to fit the needs of more mature startups. Our founder-friendly offer allows startups to participate without initial material dilution. The program is designed specifically for founders who are looking to increase the number of large, enterprise-level customers their companies have before raising their next material round of financing. The program also assumes that your company has sufficient capital to participate in the program or to achieve your next round of funding (approximately six months).
Upon joining the program, startups provide Dreamit with the following:
The right to invest up to $500K in your next round of funding at a 20% discount to the terms set by your lead investor. For example, if your next funding round is a $5M financing at a $15M pre-money valuation, Dreamit would have the right to take up to 10% of the round ($500K) at a $12M pre-money valuation (20% discount).
A $50K Convertible Security that will convert into your next round of funding with no discount. To be clear, this is not a cash investment in your company. In essence, this is a program fee to help us cover a portion of the program costs. Continuing with the example above, this $50K would convert at the $20M post-money valuation ($15M pre-money + the $5M raised), making it worth just 0.25% of your startup's outstanding equity. Other than the Convertible Security mentioned above, there are no additional costs for companies to participate in the program. However, founders must cover their own travel costs for the Investor Sprint and Customer Sprint program.
How many companies will you accept into the cohort?
We run a very hands-on program and spend a lot of time working one on one with each startup so we purposely limit the size of our cohorts to 8 to 12 companies within each industry vertical.
Do I need a tech co-founder and/or tech team in-house?
Your odds of being accepted are much better if you have a technical co-founder on your team. We are strongly biased against outsourced development but we will still consider your application. Keep in mind that team is one of the areas we evaluate and you will be competing against teams with tech in-house, so it will be on you to convince us that you can move as fast and as effectively as they can.
Do you invest in companies that are competitive with each other?
We do our best to avoid accepting competitive companies into the same cohort. However, pivots happen so it's possible we will have a company in the same space in our portfolio. We make sure not to share sensitive data or information between companies that would be considered competitive.
Can I apply if I'm not from the U.S.?
Yes! We receive applications from all over the world and typically accept 15-25% of our companies from outside the U.S. You must be able to visit the U.S., at minimum, for the duration of the Customer Sprint and Investor Sprint and the other home-city touch points which are typically four to five weeks out of the 14 week program. As well, you must become a US Delaware C-Corp to participate. If you are an Israeli company, we accept Israeli corporations without needing to convert to a US Delaware C-Corp.

That can eat it, but it contains no nutritional value and will lead to gastrointestinal distress.ReplyDelete
Vegans turn into shambling vegans then poop out shamblings to propagate the race.ReplyDelete
I thought this was a great post so I added a link to it in my Best Reads of the Week! series. I hope you don't mind!ReplyDelete
Vegetarians could eat shambling mounds if safely prepared, Vegans wouldn't as they make a virtue of eating food you don't have to sneak up on.ReplyDelete

81 Hours Later...
Just checking in again here in Atlanta. An airport at night is a funny thing, for the last 24 hours or so I've been getting disapproving looks from TSA, and pity from the terminal bartenders (who I now all know by name), save one jolly, overly-enthusiastic custodian named Destiny who keeps calling me "Sugar". She keeps asking me if there is anything she can do for me (while winking).....It was funny the first time, now I'm afraid to fall asleep.... Getting on this flight tonight is not looking good, it doesn't leave for three more hours and there is a large crowd gathered. This whole place stinks of B.O. and desperation. (Oh wait, that's just me) I thought people wanted to get out of Afghanistan, why is this proving so hard to go there? On the bright side, my fantasy football team is destroying my first round playoff match-up, be excited!
