Entrepreneurs are wired to scale solutions with speed and climate change requires urgent action. Elemental Excelerator exists to help entrepreneurs scale technology and deploy solutions to climate change faster than they would be able to do on their own. Each year, they invest in a cohort of startups with the potential to decarbonize our local and global economies, and uplift planet and people.
As an entrepreneur herself, CEO Dawn Lippert believes that the best solutions to climate change are also the most inclusive. That manifests itself in a majority female-led team at Elemental; gender, racial, and ethnic diversity in their portfolio companies; and a program for startups designed to increase Equity & Access climate technology in frontline communities.
