Introducing Voltage 13!

Innovation Depot is excited to welcome Voltage Cohort 13 — a new group of aspiring founders ready to test ideas, challenge assumptions, and start building.

Voltage is Innovation Depot’s intensive five-week, idea-stage program designed to help early founders move from “What if?” to “What’s next?” Through hands-on work, expert guidance, and a community of peers, participants learn how to validate their ideas, better understand their customers, and determine what it will take to turn an early concept into a real opportunity.

In partnership with Harmony Venture Labs, Cohort 13 will spend the next several weeks researching, testing, refining, and building alongside one another. Some ideas will evolve. Some assumptions will change. And every participant will leave with a clearer understanding of what it takes to move forward.

That process is what Voltage is all about: giving founders a place to start, the tools to learn quickly, and a community to build alongside.
