What Founders Say
“We had been looking for the best way to launch a team and hub and then learned about Greentown Labs, and it couldn't have been any better. I've been around climatetech for more than 20 years, and there are a lot of incubators around the country, but I've never experienced one that was the 'real deal' like Greentown Houston is.”
Alexander von WelczeckSkyH2O“I've really enjoyed my time as a Greentown member. It's been a lot of fun. I really enjoy the people who are around us and the Greentown team. The lab is great for the stage we are now, which is single-product development. What I've found most useful is the amount of events. I always pop out and I see a bunch of people who I know, from the investor side of things or the customer side of things. I meet new people all the time here.”
