A few notes here:

1. In my video I only mention the construction industry, but there are actually three industries this accelerator will cover: Real Estate, Construction, and Green Energy.
2. Shadow Ventures Accelerate has announced 3 companies as part of their first cohort so far, two of which come from their Shadow Labs incubator program (which confirms the "pipeline potential" theory.
The first is a company called Savvy, which uses open banking to optimize renter applicant screening. (https://www.savvyscreen.com/),
The second is called Stake, which is a loyalty platform for renters (https://www.stake.rent/home),
Finally, a company called Buildup, which is focused on construction software for Punch List and Task Management (https://buildup.co/).
3. I feel like I can do a better job with structuring! Stay tuned.

Why I like this:
Super low valuation - lots of potential upside
Projecting 2x ROI after 18 months
Companies that have gone through Shadow Labs (sister incubator program) have raised over 75 million dollars in funding to date. An accelerator seems poised to integrate into the pipeline of helping grow/add value to these startups.
Seems like a good learning opportunity! I don’t know much about RE, construction, green energy, or accelerator businesses, and this seems like a good opportunity to learn more.
Investment incentives at 10, 50, and 100k. The 10k incentive includes:
Private demo day invitation
First access to recorded workshops pitches (Good learning opportunity!)
Two complimentary tickets to Pitchathon and Shadow Summit 2021 (https://shadowsummit.co/)

Concerns:
Technically owned/run by one person?
Dilution concern; unclear whether this company intends to continue leveraging equity crowdfunding to fund cohorts, or whether they’re looking to only fund the initial cohorts via equity crowdfunding, and then use subsequent profits for future cohorts.
Unsure if they’ll raise their minimum amount (currently only 36,000 raised).
