Nos mentors

CDL-Rockies mentors represent a broad cross-section of extraordinary, accomplished entrepreneurs, scientists, active angel and venture investors across industries who employ a global mindset. They are integral to the success of each CDL-Rockies program and are invested in finding and supporting innovations—and the visionary innovators behind them—to solve critical problems. Mentors provide founders with the business expertise required to commercialize, as well as their time, resources and networks.

“[CDL’s] program offered us great networking opportunities, great advice and great exposure. The mentors were a high-quality, diverse group that offered us different perspectives on the challenges we were facing. The preparation for the program and each session was very valuable.”

Andrew Gillis

Co-Founder & CEO, Aurora Hydrogen | CDL-Rockies Energy 2021/22

“CDL was like rocket fuel, where the mentors helped us expand the vision for our company to a broader value proposition that was transformational. Mentors helped us finalize the Minimum Viable Product of our software in the most effective way possible, and we were connected to several customers that facilitated the smooth launch of our product into the market.”

Liz O'Connell

President & Co-Founder, Arolytics | CDL-Rockies Energy 2020/21

“CDL’s business mentorship pushed us to come up with a product that could be commercialized and scalable. Through CDL we were able to raise our first external fundraising round so we could hire the best talent in AI to scale rapidly. The real value has come from the mentorship, the conversations you have with the investors, and the value they bring to the table.”

Grant Sanden

CEO, Enersoft | CDL-Rockies Energy 2019/20

“CDL brings leading industry experts in one room, creating the opportunity to talk to them in one afternoon instead of many separate meetings. The momentum from the CDL program and fellows allowed us to raise $1 million in equity within six weeks.”
