The CDL is a seed-stage program, focusing on the transition phase from pre-seed to seed-stage funding, helping innovators transition from "science projects" to high-growth companies. The program will be administered by Volta Labs CEO Jesse Rodgers, closely partnered with Dalhousie University and running out of the Rowe School of Business.</span>
