Its most recent cohort All12 had its demo day showcasing its 12 graduates on May 2. Startups that take part in the program receive a $350,000 investment from Alliance as well as introductions to VCs and mentorship from some of the industry’s biggest leaders. Jacquelyn and Qiao dive into how Alliance picks startups for its cohorts, what successful projects have in common, the struggles and successes through bull and bear markets and what he’s following in the market.
