Bolstering Underrepresented Founders in Climatetech

ACCEL, an accelerator from Greentown Labs and Browning the Green Space (BGS), bolsters startups led by BIPOC and other underrepresented founders as they develop critical climatetech solutions by offering access to funding, networking connections, resources, and opportunities that structural inequities put out of reach.

[ 02 ]The Mission

Equity in Climatetech

Greentown and BGS know the climatetech industry must change the status quo to equitably position founders from all backgrounds to lead startups that will address climate change, support the development of diverse workforces, and fiercely advocate for the deployment of clean technologies in historically underserved communities.
