Jordan Burgess

Program Associate, CV Labs Startup Activation at CV VC

Check size: Not applicable to Jordan's startup-activation role. No personal check size or investment authority is public. Funding pitches should go to CV VC's named investment team or an official accelerator application, as appropriate.

Their Thesis

Jordan's documented remit is startup activation at CV Labs: helping founders enter and navigate CV VC's blockchain ecosystem and programs. The role may touch sourcing, program delivery and founder readiness, but the official roster does not place Jordan on the investment team and no personal investment thesis is published.

How to Pitch Them

Do not address Jordan as a CV VC investment associate. For a program conversation, state the company, founders and locations, user problem, why blockchain is necessary, product and traction, program or cohort sought, the next 90-day milestones and the specific ecosystem support needed. Use the official investment team for direct funding requests.

What Excites Them

For a startup-program role: committed founders who can state a clear blockchain-enabled problem, arrive prepared for structured execution, engage with mentors and peers, validate assumptions rapidly and make effective use of ecosystem access. These are role-grounded guidance, not disclosed personal deal criteria.

What They Pass On

No personal investment pass criteria are public. Program applications are weakened by unclear founder commitment, blockchain used without necessity, no identifiable user, vague milestones or an expectation that ecosystem access substitutes for execution.

Key Frameworks

Blockchain necessity test

Explain what trust, ownership, settlement or coordination problem blockchain solves that a conventional architecture would not.

Activation milestone map

Translate program participation into measurable founder, product, user, fundraising and ecosystem milestones for the next 90 days.

Program-versus-investment boundary

Separate startup-activation support from CV VC's investment decision-makers and route each request to the relevant team.
