Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) celebrated the halfway point of their Social Impact Program with a special Demo Night preview on April 9, 2025. At this event, the startups in the cohort welcomed friends and family to celebrate their accomplishments so far and learn more about the exciting innovations they’re developing. As CIC’s pitch coaching partner, we’ve loved working with these cohorts to learn more about their exciting innovations.

Dan Newman said, ”This is the third group of founders I've gotten to know through this program and it's always stunning to see them in their early days, their midpoint, and in June, their graduation. The way they refine and improve their products, pitches, and positioning over barely six months is what innovation REALLY looks like.”

We’re thrilled to work with these founders and be part of their journey. Thanks to our friends on the GS coaching team — Jasmin Plouffe, Laura Sorensen, and Mike Valdes — and to Kat Lazell and Samantha Garcia for running this fantastic program. Their final Demo Day will be held on June 26, 2025 at Venture Cafe in Cambridge.
