<u>What success looks like:</u>
Over 50% of CVSB-approved proposals get funded. After a successful program, we will have created the curriculum, set up the online learning platform, have a pool of mentors and experts to draw on and resubmit for a second round.
- 3 months: Curriculum developed, experts confirmed, program launched
- 6 months: Program completed, DeFi teams submitted proposals, with the help of CVSB
- 12 months: Funded DeFi teams identified, second iteration of the bootcamp launched, with an established learning pathway and entrepreneur toolkit available

<u>Risk Management:</u>
Education Quality: Experienced teachers, educators and start-up coaches within the WADA network that can ensure a high standard of education and training is delivered throughout the program.
Proposal Quality: WADA and partners are long-time Catalyst members with several successfully funded proposals, as well as assisting others on their Catalyst journey.
Future sustainability: After the tipping-point of demand and value-creation is reached, we can then seek out sponsors, investors and partners for continued financial sustainability outside of Catalyst.
