#Greentown10: Greentown Startups Are Building a Climate Workforce

We’re proud to support more than 180 climatetech startups as they develop their technologies, scale their businesses, and grow their teams—and they certainly do grow their teams. 

#Greentown10 is a year-long celebration of the startups, partners, ecosystem collaborators, and other climate champions who have worked together over Greentown’s first decade, and this month, we’re focusing on #ClimatetechCareers. In Greentown’s 10 years of existence, our members have created more than 7,800 jobs—that’s 7,800 climate champions putting to work their unique set of skills and experiences to solve the climate crisis.

These thousands of new jobs illustrate that Greentown startups are not only developing climatetech solutions—they’re building a climate workforce that is ready to harness the massive economic opportunities of the energy transition. And that climate workforce is hiring.

There’s a place for everyone in climatetech, whether they’ve previously worked in traditional energy, have experience tackling climate change, or are new to the climate and energy fields. Just ask Patricia Vega, CEO of Greentown Houston member Quantum New Energy, who worked in traditional energy for 25 years before founding a climatetech startup. And earlier this week, we were encouraged to see 27 labor unions release a report showing that the energy transition could create 1.1 million jobs in Texas alone. The jobs are here. We just need you!

Our startups are looking for people like you to join their innovative, climate-oriented teams. You can view all job openings on our careers page, and see a list of companies with multiple open positions below!
