Greentown Learn Information

Greentown Learn was established to take the tremendous know-how embedded in the 125+ companies that have been part of the Greentown Labs incubator and make that knowledge available to future cleantech entrepreneurs. Broadly, we are dedicated to helping create a world where the use of renewable resources predominates and environmental sustainability is in sight. This means supporting companies that are creating technologies and deploying solutions that add mutual value to their customers and the planet. Specifically, our role is to help startups scale in sectors such as energy, water and agriculture get through the critical period from prototype to product deployment. We believe we have a unique contribution to the success of startup companies at this critical stage of development and we make that contribution through educational programs. Our belief is that cleantech companies--and in fact all companies making complex engineered products or commercializing new science--have a longer road, with greater potential for failure than the software startups typically touted in the entrepreneurial press. In order to realize the promise of essential innovations for people and the planet, we have to find a better way to help these companies get their innovations to scale.
