Go Build

Let’s reinvent buildings, old and new.

The buildings sector contributes seven percent of global greenhouse gas emissions; to change this, we need innovations that revolutionize how buildings are planned, built, retrofitted, and managed. 

Greentown Go Build brings together startups and corporates to accelerate the commercialization of technologies from building materials to building management systems, and more. How can you help build a decarbonized future?

Let’s Go.

Advancing CO₂-mineralization technologies for building materials

Go Build 2026 with Amazon and the Global CO₂ Initiative at the University of Michigan is accelerating collaborations with startups in the field of CO₂ utilization and valorization. Specifically, the program seeks to speed the development and implementation of advanced CO₂ mineralization and carbonation technologies to decarbonize the built environment—both within Amazon’s operations and the construction industry more broadly.

Applications for this program have closed—stay tuned for the cohort to be announced this spring, and save the date for the kickoff event on April 1!

Go Build Alumni

“There’s no better way to accelerate the growth of a company. There are a lot of things about building a company that aren’t straightforward, and to have Greentown understand and have mentors who have been through fundraising and know how to think about your product—it’s beyond measure, the value that provides.”
