A new cohort of early stage companies recently graduated from Creative Destruction Lab (CDL), the nonprofit that runs a startup accelerator in Seattle.
Nineteen startups completed the nine-month program, based at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business. It’s the fourth session session since CDL launched its Seattle hub in 2021.
In a post on LinkedIn, CDL thanked the startup founders for showing up with “grit, vision, and relentless drive.”
CDL, which runs 13 programs around the world, does not take equity from companies and relies on funding from founding members such as the UW and Microsoft. Founders in the cohort get access to mentors including startup founders, investors, and other leaders from across the Pacific Northwest.
CDL-Seattle startups have raised at least $190 million since 2022.
