Greenstart, a clean tech accelerator based in San Francisco, announces its first four companies to the 12-week program.
In the video below, I talk to Greenstart co-founder Mitch Lowe about the importance of motivating talented individuals to solve energy problems and San Francisco's Mayor Edwin Lee about his thoughts on the accelerator. The video ends with pitches from the four companies. Watch the video:
The companies include:
Each of the four companies received $25,000 to $100,000 in funding. Besides funding, the entrepreneurs will receive moral support from mentors, get on a fast track to clean tech connections, and eventually get a chance to pitch their idea to investors at the end of the 12-week program.
