Pre-seed or seed stage companies, ideally post-revenue with 6 months of customer data
At least one member of the founding team must be a CBS alum
The founding team must all be working full-time on their venture
The venture must be raising, or looking to raise a round within the next 12 months
The Lang Fund is geographically and sector agnostic
