Thursday 20 January, 2022
2021 was a thrilling and busy year at the GCV Institute. We delivered 10 courses, reaching more than 200 participants who represented more than 50 different organizations.
Our Institute participants attended from new and existing programs alike, with 45% of them coming from established, long-term programs interested in emerging models and best practices. Many CVCs looked to the Institute to build understanding and common language among newer team members as well as their partners and key contacts in the parent company.
We live by our "By CVCs for CVCs" motto. The Institute curriculum combines an expert-driven case study approach, cohort-based learning, and mentored problem solving to arm participants with common language, tools, and best practices for investing and partnering. Participants consistently tell us that the expert panels in the courses provide invaluable insights that they can immediately apply to their programs.
