The climatetech industry must change the status quo to equitably position founders from all backgrounds to lead startups that will address climate change, support the development of diverse workforces, and fiercely advocate for the deployment of clean technologies in historically underserved communities. That’s where ACCEL comes in. 

ACCEL is here to bolster BIPOC-led climatetech startups by offering access to funding, networking connections, resources, and opportunities that structural inequities put out of reach. This year-long program combines acceleration with a curated curriculum, incubation through a Greentown Labs membership, and extensive mentorship from Greentown and Browning the Green Space (BGS)’s networks of industry experts.

Solving the climate crisis presents an incredible economic opportunity where we can create an equitable, inclusive clean energy transition for generations to come.

ACCEL is making that vision a reality. 

Applications for this program have closed—stay tuned for an announcement of the startup cohort in the coming weeks!
