The conference, which is being held in partnership with Protect Our Winters (POW), aims to identify innovative companies that align with advancing a non-profit’s core mission. POW is a non-profit based in Boulder, CO that works to protect outdoor experiences from climate change. The partnership with Progression allows POW to leverage the power of venture capital to further its mission and support purpose-driven companies. The conference is also partnering with the Rocky Mountain Venture Capital Association (RMVCA) to help POW identify purpose-driven companies that are in the midst of fundraising. The RMVCA will bring relevant investors to the conference, giving presenting companies an opportunity to make meaningful fundraising connections.
Progression will work with the RMVCA and POW to select six venture-stage companies that are currently fundraising. POW will have the final decision on which companies they feel best align with their mission and deserve the opportunity to present at the event. These startups will be able to pitch to the audience and build fundraising relationships through a post-pitch networking reception. The aim of Progression 2024 is to add purpose to venture capital investing and provide funding opportunities for companies that will contribute to building a more sustainable future.
