Incredibly excited for this announcement! We’re launching Coherence 2.0 AND announcing our new open source framework, CNC! TL;DR - Coherence 2.0 (https://lnkd.in/ed_Hww6i) is a next-generation developer platform that is the most flexible way to provision and deploy to environments in your own cloud. - CNC (https://cncframework.com/) is the first open source Infrastructure-as-Code framework. It gives you total control over what your environments look like and how they work. Coherence 2.0 integrates your CNC apps directly into your cloud provider and source control (e.g. github), with a seamless UI/CLI for management and configuration.

Rather than hosting Founder retreats annually, we like to say we host them daily. Conversations range from industry trends to company building tactics and everything in between, often led by notable program alums. Over the last few months we have had GCT Alumni like Brad Hargreaves (Common & General Assembly), Troy Bannister (Particle Health), Justin Etkin (Tropic), and Anthony Mironov (Wingspan) in to connect with the current class of GCT and share their thoughts on company building. Apply to join this incredible network of builders in NYC. Applications open until July 8th. 🔗 Apply here: https://bit.ly/3KutUJt

Since our inception over a decade ago, we’ve been committed to helping build a thriving, inclusive tech community in New York City. As part of this ambition, we have made workforce development that capitalizes on key New York City infrastructure a core focus – which is why we partner with The City University of New York, Blackstone LaunchPad, and New York City Economic Development Corporation to provide summer internships, pairing the impressive talent at CUNY with tech companies within our broader network. This year, we have successfully placed 85 interns with companies including: Lilac Software, Pika, Neura Health, First Tech Fund, Wiggle Room App, Fig Medical, and many more. On Monday morning, we hosted the students at Company Ventures for a kick-off event. You can read more about the program here: https://bit.ly/3KH6yAh
