FIND A MENTOR
Our mentorship services help climate tech startups accelerate their path to commercialization.

Examples of potential projects include:
-
Customer Discovery: Refine and validate your business model hypotheses.
-
Pitch Coaching: Get direct feedback on your pitch deck and presentation to prepare for investor or partner meetings.
-
