At Greentown Labs, we see with clear eyes the universal challenge that climate change poses. And we meet it with an equally clear vision for solving the problem—in fact, it’s an amazing opportunity for ingenuity and collaboration.
We are a climatetech startup incubator like you’ve never seen before.
Founded by entrepreneurs, we’re bringing together startups, corporates, investors, politicians, and many others to shape our best future. We’re here because each solution becomes greater when combined with others in a community of changemakers.
In this community, we build on ideas, connect disciplines, and foster creativity.
As individuals, we take great pride in the fact that we’re each playing a role in achieving our mission. And when we step back and look at the full scale of work being done here together—in this engine of possibility—we feel grateful, inspired, and relentlessly optimistic. Because we know that, no matter what, we’re going to get this done.
A Community Committed to Climate
Our members, our partners, and our staff are united by a common mission: solving the climate crisis through entrepreneurship and collaboration. Whether you’re a startup founder or a policymaker or an investor or a corporate executive, this is the place where you can take climate action.
Our community wants to change the way people think about, engage with, and use energy. We want to change how we build our buildings, how we get around our cities and towns, how we grow our food, how we manage our water.
We believe in the power of entrepreneurs in the climate battle. And we’re confident that when combined with support and amplification from corporates, politicians, private citizens, and others, climatetech startups will drive progress.
We aim to be the leading hub where people from all over the world congregate to work toward the shared goal of a sustainable, renewable future.
Our Incubation Model
Greentown Labs aims to be a supportive, collaborative, and inspiring community for early-stage entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. In light of that mission, we don’t take any equity in our member companies. Instead, members pay monthly fees based on their lab and office space. We bring in revenue from other sources, including partnerships and grants, to keep membership fees low for our startups.
Membership fees are approximately market rate, but include so much more than desk and lab space—members also gain access to more than $1 million worth of resources, equipment, programming, staff support, and more.
