LabStart
LabStart is building accessible pathways for underrepresented entrepreneurs to bring climate technologies from lab-to-market. A trove of valuable, scalable climate technologies continues to sit dormant - untapped and hidden behind research institution walls. To unlock these ready-innovations in a way that generates equitable market opportunities for underserved communities, we match market-ready tech with talented entrepreneurs selected from the front lines of climate change. We are a team of entrepreneurs, national lab researchers, commercialization consultants, investors, and programmatic experts. We fund full-time entrepreneur-minded fellows to discover, build, and launch startups based on technologies developed in premier research laboratories.
