We are proud to share that Ceresant Solutions® has been invited to join the Creative Destruction Lab (CDL), one of the world’s most respected accelerators for science and technology ventures. CDL is known globally for its mission to help founders “Build Something Massive” through a unique, objectives-based model and access to world-class mentors.
Ceresant Solutions will be the first Virginia company selected for CDL’s Health & Wellness stream, a track that helps founders bring innovations in wellness, medical technology, digital health, and healthcare platforms to market.
Founded in 2012 at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, CDL has grown into a global program with 15 locations: five sites in Canada, three in the United States, six in Europe, and one in Australia.
Unlike traditional accelerators, CDL is a nonprofit. It takes no equity and charges no fees. The program is built around a unique objectives-based process where participating founders meet every eight weeks with Fellows and Associates. These mentors are a carefully selected group of accomplished entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, and operators who provide judgment, set priorities, and help early-stage ventures focus on what matters most.
Since its founding, CDL companies have created more than CAD $51 billion (approximately USD $37 billion) in equity value. The program has become a model for how science-based innovation can be commercialized globally.
From the beginning, we have been intentional about where we seek guidance. We have looked for a program that fits our stage, aligns with our science and deep tech focus, and connects us to mentors who understand the path from discovery to scale. CDL has always been at the top of that list.
Between October 2025 and June 2026, our team will participate in CDL-Wisconsin’s Health & Wellness stream. These sessions will sharpen our strategy, expand our global network, and accelerate BrainDash in schools and beyond.
For Ceresant Solutions, this recognition is more than symbolic. It is validation of the path we are on. It confirms the global relevance of our work and strengthens our ability to build predictive prevention systems that detect risks earlier, protect students, and support stronger communities.
We are grateful for this opportunity and proud to bring Virginia innovation to the global stage.
