We have only one workshop left to execute. The only change is we decided to switch from a demo day to an investor roadshow, which will be a two-week long marketing outreach to investors to watch the startups pitch and create direct relationships with the founders. This is the better approach because within the 2 programs there are 11 startups each (22 total) and therefore a demo day won't give all startups the visibility they deserve

The accelerators are directly tied to the FTxCardano Challenge we are also running. We are planning them together. Currently, we have our sourcing strategy setup for the accelerators and the timeline. We have a basic curriculum setup, but will continue solidifying this before the hard launch.
