Project Description
This 9-month program is the only one of its kind focused on developing and guiding pilot projects in the built environment. The 15 pilot-ready companies in the 2021 cohort will benefit from: programs and curricula to fine tune and advance solutions and business models; 1-to-1 advisory services with our leadership team and 30+ green building experts; and increased market exposure with an estimated 100,000+ relevant media impressions and spotlights at MGBCE, NZ21, and the NZA Demo Day. For 2021 we're focused primarily on building decarbonization (materials & operations), occupant wellness for all building types (commercial, institutional, multi-family, affordable housing, etc.), sustainable infrastructure (conduits and systems serving the built environment), and clean construction (waste & efficiency). We’re not your typical accelerator. 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 innovation of viable solution and market innovations through marketing, media, events and curated networking. WE GET TECH TO MARKET through onsite pilots with committed green building leaders. There are plenty of great programs in place that help companies with business fundamentals. We look for companies that already have those basics covered. In short, ones that are ready for market entry or already in market and ready to scale.
