Cleantech Open Los Angeles Kick-Off/Networking Event

YOU MUST REGISTER on EVENTBRITE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/861725914407

Join Cleantech Open (CTO) as we share the information about this year's upcoming 2024 Accelerator Program! At CTO we are the world's oldest and largest Clean Technology Startup Accelerator. We've had ~2,000 early stage startups successfully graduate our program since 2006. RIGHT NOW, we're looking for ambitious and innovative entrepreneurs that are trying to solve some of the world's greatest problems who are looking to grow their business to the next level using our proven curriculum.
It's a 12-week program starting in June and running through August, with a final competition in September and Culminating Event in October. By the time you're through CTO, you'll have everything you need to pitch to early-stage investors and Climate VCs. We work with startups that have raised <$2M in equity, all the way down to trying to flush out an idea on the back of a napkin. If you're serious about your business, then we are here to help!

Get the chance to share your idea/company with the audience, if you'd like.

Meet Alumni, CTO Staff, Mentors, and other people from the Los Angeles Cleantech Community as we get together to meet and mingle. All are welcome!

We'll have some light food available as well! Big thanks to our CTO Metro Director Stan Tomsic and our host LARTA!
