Meet Jeff Cherry , the Founder and Executive Director of Conscious Venture Lab (CVL), CEO of Novella Center for Entrepreneurship, and an UpSurge Baltimore Advisory Board Member! With experience in investment and accelerator programming, he has a commitment to startups that is felt throughout our ecosystem. Jeff shared some insight at EcoMap Technologies, Inc. 's #SuperConnect conference this year that truly hones in on what makes a Baltimore an #Equitech city: "It's all about social innovation... We always say: 'we'll invest in anybody, no matter where they come from, what they look like' and we actually mean it. And that means you have to do the work. We have to get on the ground in places where other investors aren't looking. We find some of those ideas, some of those people and guess what? I'm an investor... I have asymmetric information. I know things that my competitors don't know because they won't go into those communities... All you have to do is be intentional about it." Jeff's outlook on investment and belief in our city's founders is why we're so grateful for his leadership both in UpSurge and abound! Conscious Venture Lab has recently announced their newest cohort of 11 remarkable founders, learn more about them and get connected! 🚀 #ThisIsEquitech ↗️
