The CPG Pioneers

Community members are the foundation of CPG. This week we took a moment to recognize those who have helped lay the groundwork on which we are building together. Airdropped to long-standing Genesis and Pop token holders, the release of the CPG Pioneers commemorative tokens marks a milestone in our relatively young history and is just the beginning of many milestones to come that will benefit all members. Please join us in congratulating our Pioneers.

The CPG Pioneers tokens are non-transferrable, which means they cannot be traded, bought or sold. They are designated for the holder and come with a CPG Rewards boost, the benefit of which will become clear in coming days.

CPG Accelerator

◆ Pitch Day on Wednesday was an inspiration. We presented three different live streams, one for each of three pre-Accelerator groups — Ideation, Building, and Growth. There were a total of 32 pitches across the three groups prepared for our notable panel of investors.

Thank you to all who participated in making Pitch Day such a success. Find the recordings in our Accelerator channel on Telegram. The lookbook also gives a handy overview of the participants.

◆ The start of the CPG Accelerator on March 1 is fast approaching. We already have over 80 registrations and counting! If you are thinking of registering, we encourage you to submit your form as soon as possible. If you have questions, this very helpful overview by Accelerator lead Raffaela Rein contains the important details. Remember, anyone can register, but you need to hold a Pop or Genesis token by the start of the program to participate.

TRAME x CPG

We are preparing for the official opening of Navette next week during NFT Paris at a private cocktail reception, with designated spots for CPG members. For the public, the Navette Pop-up will be on display from 10 am to 7:45 pm on February 23 and 24 at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, 38 rue de Sèvres, 1st Floor. Navette is the first collection in our Craft Nouveau series.

What’s Ahead
