Guiding, Piloting & Promoting Solutions for a Net Positive Future
We’re speeding adoption of vital solutions in the built environment.
We’re not your typical accelerator. With a focus on piloting projects in real world, trackable implementations, we aim to rapidly drive measurable adoption of net zero solutions, today. We pair our Cohort companies with experts to encourage scalable solutions, promote awareness of their solutions to the right audience, and focus a strong emphasis on placing technology pilots with building partners that support a net positive future.
WE BRIDGE THE GAP between net zero building policy and current technology in use for both commercial and affordable housing sectors.
WE BUILD AWARENESS of viable solutions and market innovations through marketing, media, events and curated networking.
WE GET TECH TO MARKET through onsite pilots with committed green building leaders.
We achieve this by pairing our cohort members with expert advisors, promoting their solutions to high value prospects, and placing pilot projects to help these growing companies better prepare for scaled adoption. All to make net zero carbon, energy, water, and waste a reality for LA, and beyond. Join us and become a net positive part of our net zero future.
