CV Labs

Helping global startups, corporates, and investors to leverage AI, Blockchain & other Frontier Technologies 🚀

[CV Labs @CV_Labs]

What does it take to be a founder building in AI and blockchain today? For Francesca Conti, Head of Startup Activation at CV VC, it starts with two qualities 🚀

The first is conviction. “Having conviction as a founder and having a say in what you’re building is paramount, especially when building in AI and blockchain technology.”

The second is grit: the ability to execute with limited or even zero resources. It’s a quality Francesca sees again and again in the founders of the Stellar x CV Labs Accelerator, particularly those building on the African continent.

Those qualities helped shape this year’s cohort. From more than 1,200 applicants, ten startups building in payments and DeFi across EMEA were selected to join the programme, run together with the Stellar Development Foundation.

Over three months, the founders have been building lasting relationships with the @StellarOrg , CV VC, and our global network, with support across go-to-market, fundraising, stablecoin advisory, and tokenomics to help them scale.

Now it’s time to see what they’ve built. Meet the startups at Stellar Meridian 2026 in Lisbon on 28-29 October, where they’ll take the stage for Demo Day: https://t.co/3Ja1zfubYt

Implementation, not exploration. That was the message from Zurich this year 🚀

As Presenting Partner of CV Summit 2026, @FranklnTempletn was at the heart of that conversation. Christopher Perkins took the Anchor Stage with a keynote on how regulatory clarity is driving institutional adoption, and why tokenisation is becoming a fiduciary consideration rather than a choice. Emilio Anting then moderated a discussion on the rails, liquidity, and market structure behind the next phase of digital assets.

A huge thank you to the @FranklnTempletn team for returning as our Presenting Partner. Your support, and the institutional depth you brought to every session you were part of, helped make this year's summit one to remember.

We can't wait to welcome you back! 🙌

First time at CV Summit? Here's how to make the most of your two days in Zurich 👇

📍 Getting to the venue: The Kongresshaus Zurich sits on the lakefront, just a short walk or tram ride from Zurich main station. Doors open at 12:00 on both days, and the program starts at 13:00, so you can collect your badge and grab a coffee before the first sessions begin.

📱 Download the Networking App: Some of the most valuable moments at CV Summit happen between sessions. The CV Summit app, powered by SCRYPT, helps you find the right people in the room and book one-to-one meetings with them in advance.

🗓️ Plan around three stages: With sessions running in parallel across the Anchor, Catalyst, and Deep Dive stages, it's worth deciding in advance what you don't want to miss. Bookmark those sessions in the CV Summit app so your personalized agenda is ready before you arrive.

🤝 Explore the venue: Between sessions, take time to walk the floor. The expo booths are where many of the week's most practical conversations take place, whether you're comparing solutions, meeting potential partners, or connecting with the people building in the space.

🎉 Go beyond the main event: From breakfasts to the CV VC Boat Cruise on Lake Zurich, the side events around the summit are where the conversations continue. Find all the official side events on our website: https://t.co/HZWombqtzb

Behind the scenes at CV Labs, #CVSummit 2026 is officially taking over the office 📦

Boxes are stacked to the ceiling, the lanyards have arrived, and the team has already been caught trying on this year's t-shirts (they passed the test).

It's the part of the summit most people never see: days of packing, sorting, and checking everything twice so that when the doors open at the Kongresshaus Zurich on Tuesday, you walk straight into the good bit.

See you there next week 👋
