ACCEL Year 2 Showcase
Join us at Greentown Houston on Sept. 5 for an opportunity to celebrate ACCEL, an accelerator program for BIPOC-led startups from Greentown Labs and Browning the Green Space (BGS).
Greentown and BGS recognize that the climatetech industry must change the status quo to put founders of color in the position to lead technology-driven companies that address climate change, support the development of diverse workforces, and fiercely advocate for the deployment of clean technologies in underserved communities.
Join the second ACCEL cohort for a showcase featuring their technologies, what they’ve accomplished in the first six months of the program, and where they’re headed next. At this event, you’ll also have the opportunity to network with industry leaders who are passionate about and building an inclusive and sustainable future.
Agenda:
4:30 PM – 5:00 PM: Check-in & Networking
5:00 PM – 5:15 PM: Opening Remarks
5:15 PM – 6:00 PM: ACCEL Year 2 cohort pitches
6:00 PM – 6:15 PM: Closing Remarks
6:15 PM – 7:30 PM: Startup Showcase & Networking
About ACCEL
ACCEL is a year-long program that combines acceleration with a curated curriculum, incubation through a Greentown membership, and extensive mentorship from Greentown and BGS’s networks of industry experts. The program is designed to bolster BIPOC-led startups as they develop critical climatetech solutions by offering access to funding, networking connections, resources, and opportunities that structural inequities put out of reach.
