Phase 1: Launchpad

MEIA’s Launchpad program is designed to assist in the creation of new climate tech companies and sustain growth through their startup journey. Targeting technologies at TRL 3, 4, and 5, the program engages founders and researchers with high-potential innovations. MEIA recruits two Energy Executives per team to lead commercialization planning, with the ultimate goal of founding a company. Over a 4-6 month period, startup teams conduct deep customer discovery, develop a business model canvas, and create a full commercialization plan and investor-ready pitch deck.
