The session will examine government grants/non-dilutive funding sources, debt-based sources of funding, and non-extractive financing solutions as means of funding environmental impact ventures.

An agenda will be uploaded soon. Representatives from Mtech, the Maryland Energy Innovation AcceleratorI-Corps, the Climate Catalytic Capital (C3) FundMaryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS), and the Maryland Energy Innovation Institute (and more) will be on-hand to answer your questions related to startup funding. 

This is the first Maryland Climate Tech Meetup, sponsored by the Maryland Energy Innovation Accelerator and hosted by Mtech at the University of Maryland. The goal of Maryland Climate Tech Meetups is to help catalyze a robust community around climate-tech innovations, increasing connectivity among different actors in the ecosystem. We also aim to identify and fill critical support gaps to better support climate-impact ventures.
