Innosphere Ventures Announces the 2024 Cleantech Incubation Program
Innosphere Ventures announces the 8 startup and scaleup companies that have been selected to join the 2024 Innosphere Ventures Cleantech Incubator Program.
Innosphere Venture’s incubation program accelerates the success of high-impact startup companies. The program focuses on ensuring companies are investor-ready, connecting entrepreneurs with experienced advisors and early hires, making introductions to corporate partners, exit planning, and accelerating top-line revenue growth. Once accepted into the program, companies receive ongoing support to ensure they’re getting the know-how to raise the right kind of capital and all the resources to grow.
“Situated within the dynamic landscape of the Rocky Mountains Great Plains region, innovation in the Cleantech sector thrives. This expansive 15-state territory boasts world-class research universities, esteemed DOE National Labs, and an abundance of entrepreneurial talent, making it a fertile ground for pioneering Cleantech startups. Nonetheless, despite the wealth of resources, there exists a notable absence of cohesive support systems for emerging early-stage founders within the region,” explained Mike Freeman, CEO of Innosphere Ventures. “This is precisely where Innosphere Ventures can make a significant impact.”
