Purpose-built labs and infrastructure for prototyping and R&D, located in the global hubs where industry is already moving.
[ 01 ]About Us
Climate change is one of the greatest transformation opportunities in human history. The question is how fast we can move.
[ 02 ]The Opportunity
The technologies to transform these systems already exist.
The entrepreneurs building them are already hard at work.
What they need now is the infrastructure, community, and ecosystem to move faster.
[ 03 ]Our Mission
Greentown’s mission is to help climate and energy entrepreneurs bring their technologies into the world and to scale faster, delivering more energy, fewer emissions, and the good jobs of the future.

[ 04 ]Our Approach
[ 05 ]Our Values
The principles that shape how we show up for founders, partners, and each other.
The world's largest and most interconnected community of climate and energy innovators. Because founders go further when they're not going it alone.
Structured pathways to customers, capital, and pilots that compress the distance between a promising technology and a transformed market.
Grit, urgency, and an unshakeable belief that the impossible is closer than it looks. Especially when you're working on it together.
[ 06 ]Community Voices
“Greentown represents what's possible when bold founders are given the space, support, and community to tackle the world's hardest climate challenges. It's not just an incubator—it's a catalyst for real, scalable change.”
“When you get a coffee, I think the most magical question that you can ask another founder is, 'How's progress?' It opens a floodgate of information back and forth of helping each other. What's at the heart of it is you enter into a world where you're not alone.”
“This community has the rare ability to compress years of learning into months. Founders don't just borrow each other's playbooks — they rewrite them together, in real time.”
“The first prototype we ran in the lab was a Frankenstein of borrowed equipment and free advice from the bench next door. None of that exists outside of Greentown.”
“Greentown is where I find the founders other investors haven't met yet. The signal-to-noise here is unmatched — every conversation moves something forward.”
