Bio-embellishments made without microplastics. Vertical-axis wind turbines. Building materials that forgo toxic chemicals. These are just a few of the innovations being developed by the entrepreneurs in this year's #ACCEL program—and which we were honored to celebrate at the Year 2 Showcase! ?? Too often, structural inequities put critical funding, networking connections, resources, and opportunities out of reach for BIPOC founders. A program by Greentown and Browning the Green Space, ACCEL is a year-long intensive for underrepresented climatetech entrepreneurs that combines acceleration, incubation, and extensive mentorship to bolster the businesses. We celebrated this year's cohort of incredible founders at the Year 2 Showcase featuring pitches, a technology exhibition, and networking with key climate action leaders from throughout the climatetech ecosystem. Thank you to all who attended and continue to support these groundbreaking companies! ?? AtmoSpark Technologies Inc. is an atmospheric water generation company with a patented electro-condensation technology, which has a lower energy footprint than that of current water-generation methods, led by Tejus Mane. ?? Aquasaic is harnessing biology to clean water for planetary and human health, led by Shalmalee Pandit and Nikita Patil, PhD. ?? Axis Sky Renewables creates innovative wind solutions, specializing in vertical-axis wind turbines that are less expensive to produce, deploy, and maintain than traditional wind turbines, led by Andre Gafford. ?? Carbon Negative Solutions Inc is creating smart-city-ready, carbon-negative concrete products, led by Keith Crossland. ?? Cellsense develops interactive bio-embellishments that create new possibilities for designers while eliminating microplastics and replacing fossil-fuel-based material at scale, led by Aradhita Parasrampuria. ?? EcoForge is developing affordable, high-performance building materials from local agricultural residues, replacing energy-intensive, fossil-based materials, led by Myung Bender, Rongyu Na, and Alex (Kaixi) Yang. ?? Sankofa Dynamics creates low-cost, eco-friendly solutions for water, air, and energy problems, led by Chauncy Spencer. Thank you to Funders Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, Microsoft, Equinor, Ion Houston, Barr Foundation, bp, and Somernova and Curriculum + Resources Partner VentureWell for supporting this program!
