Two Sustainability Accelerators, Incubators Unveil Startup Cohort Groups

January 10, 2024 by Joe Panettieri

Multiple sustainability startups this month are set to join so-called business accelerators and incubators. The universal goal for each startup: Gain executive guidance, business and technology support, and mentorship from third-party experts who have extensive company building experience.

Among the latest accelerators to note: The Company Lab and gener8tor have selected five startups for the inaugural Sustainable Mobility Accelerator cohort -- which kicks off January 18, 2024. Nearly 150 startups applied to join the accelerator. The five selected startups are:

  • Coulomb AI, a battery observability platform;
  • FLUIX, which optimizes data center efficiency;
  • MarsCharge for ultrafast electric vehicle (EV) chargers;
  • Terminus, an urban data mining company that makes cities smarter, safer and more efficient; and
  • Xtelligent, a traffic control system developer that improves road network reliability and thereby reduces CO2 emissions.

On a related note, keep an eye on The Company Lab's Co.Mobility Summit 2024, which is scheduled for May 21-23 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The event focuses on sustainable mobility solutions, emerging technologies and startup businesses.

Greentown Go Build Accelerator

Meanwhile, a Greentown Labs, a ClimateTech incubator and Saint-Gobain, a multinational manufacturer, announce six startup participants for Greentown Go Build 2023. The overall effort strives to "accelerate startup-corporate partnerships to advance circularity and decarbonize the built environment."
