Creative Destruction Lab Paris

Run by Creative Destruction Lab.

From Paris, Creative Destruction Lab runs its nine-month cycle for deeptech, AI and generalist ventures - hybrid, roughly September to June, with five full-day objective-setting Sessions eight weeks apart. There is no guaranteed investment - CDL does not directly fund the ventures it admits, and mentors or funds in its network invest separately if they choose. As a non-profit it charges no fee and takes no equity.

Duration: 36 weeks (Longer than Europe & C. Asia median 26 wks · Longer than global median 20 wks)
