HumanBulb is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission of unleashing innovation through equity-focused innovation entrepreneurship education and acceleration programs for youth, professionals and startups. Our Programs: “Sacramento for a Smarter, Greener Future” is a 10 week accelerator for early stage sustainability innovators that incorporates knowledge sharing from international, national, and local ecosystems. We aim to have at least 50% of our program participants come from underserved communities, including women, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) & LGBTQ+ innovators. We host pre-accelerator equity bootcamps with local community partners to better prepare participants from underserved communities and lower the barriers to entry into innovation entrepreneurship. We’ve partnered with Startup World Cup to organize 4 regional competitions in 2023 in Sacramento, Orange County, Austin & NYC. Regional competition winners go on to compete in the Global Grand Finale Semifinals and Final in San Francisco in December 2023 completing against the winners of 70+ regional competitions around the world for a $1 million investment prize! Youth STEM Entrepreneurship Programs: Our sustainability-focused innovation entrepreneurship bootcamps for youth ages 13-18 are designed in modules that mimic the essential steps in innovation entrepreneurship. Participants gain a strong overall understanding of concepts involved in innovation entrepreneurship while simultaneously learning sustainability-focused STEM subject matter content. Career Exploration Programs for youth. FutureReady Leaders is a forward-thinking youth leadership program designed to equip high school-aged students with the skills and experiences they need to thrive in the changing, technology-dependent workplace of the future. The program focuses on nurturing essential soft skills and providing hands-on exposure to technologies.

Attending the Startup World Cup was nothing short of inspiring! ?? It’s incredible to see the future of innovation unfold on such a global stage, and I’m so grateful to the HumanBulb team for making this experience possible. ???? Hosted by Pegasus Tech Ventures, the event showcased some of the most forward-thinking startups in the world, and I was blown away by the energy and ideas in the room. ?? The highlight of the event was watching EarthGrid PBC win the $1,000,000 investment prize. They’re pioneering a plasma tunnel-boring technology that’s set to revolutionize how we install underground utilities—faster, cheaper, and with a fraction of the environmental impact. ?? It was also a proud moment to see Off The Wall Energy, Inc. win the Sacramento regionals and compete in the grand finale! They’re tackling energy access with mobile, renewable solutions, bringing clean power to underserved and off-grid areas. ? Sacramento talent making waves on a global scale! Special thanks to Henry Chang, Charlotte Danielsson, and Imelda Martinez from HumanBulb for the opportunity, and shoutout to Tony Henderson for being there with me to witness it all! ???? #StartupWorldCup #Innovation #CleanEnergy #SacramentoPride #Grateful #NextGenInfrastructure
HumanBulb’s Accelerator participants had an amazing session with Paul Singh, Principal Cloud Solutions Architect at Microsoft, this Saturday at our office who shared his knowledge about all things AI. Participants also received a copy of his book “Generative AI for Cloud Solutions” Thank you so much Paul for being such a big supporter of our programs and our startups??

Ever felt like you’re stepping into a whole new world when you’re in a room of experts? That’s exactly how I felt recently—and I’m so grateful for it. Along with a group of amazing peers, I had the incredible privilege of sitting down with Paul Singh, Principal Cloud Solution Architect of Microsoft. His passion for human-centered design and his depth of knowledge about ethical, transformative AI left us inspired and ready to make an impact. Paul’s vision for generative AI goes beyond technology; he sees it as a tool for positive change. Thank you, Paul, for taking time from your busy schedule to meet with us, share your insights, and remind us of the power of mentorship and community. I’m also deeply grateful to HumanBulb and Charlotte Danielsson, Henry Chang for creating spaces where people from all backgrounds can connect and grow. To be part of such a welcoming, knowledge-sharing community means everything. If you’re stepping out of your comfort zone, I hope this inspires you to keep going. We’re all rewriting what’s possible every time we take that step forward. Here’s to more transformative conversations and incredible mentors! #AI #GrowthMindset #HumanBulb #TechCommunity #GenerativeAI #Mentorship #TechStartup

Check out this Shine-funded project, HumanBulb! They recently teamed up with local schools and afterschool programs, ImpactSac, to host STEM innovation workshops. These sessions focus on sustainability topics like transportation electrification and renewable energy. Earlier this week, the kids put together robotic electric vehicle kits to enhance their lesson on transportation electrification, allowing students to build their own battery-powered cars. This hands-on experience helped make the lessons fun and interactive! Thanks, HumanBulb, for all the great experiences you bring to our young innovation leaders of tomorrow. #STEMEducation #Sustainability #Innovation #SMUDShine
