“ We have refined our story and completely recreated our entire pitch deck thanks to lessons learned at the DIANA cluster sessions . This has happened almost in real time as we make adjustments after every session , including pitch deck adjustments we are using right now for investor ’ s pitches .” Ryan Cross , Zephyr Flight Labs
The final phase of the initial boot camp is a pitch presentation and competition to become a part of the phase two program , called GROW .
Within the GROW program , added grant funding and a tailored support program will be available to a smaller number of innovators . Scheduled to begin in September 2024 , the GROW program will further develop the technologies created by these talented creators .
