Accelerate your business! Clean Tech Open 2014 Accelerator Application Deadline is Extended to Friday, May 2, 5pm!

The Cleantech Open The Cleantech Open runs the world's largest cleantech accelerator. We find, fund, and foster the most promising cleantech startups on the planet.

In the coming week you will likely hear more about the exciting new effort CU Boulder is launching—a crowd funding platform specifically for projects based at CU Boulder. This link will take you to an article in the Daily Camera about this effort: http://www.dailycamera.com/cu-news/ci_25639216/strength-numbers-cu-boulder-pilot-crowdfunding-small-projects. In addition, you can get more information on the program before the site is live: http://bit.ly/QG2000.

A project developed by CU Cleantech and the Tech Transfer Office was chosen to be included in this pilot launch of the CU-Boulder Crowdfunding initiative. The funds we raise will support a summer project where students will work with technologies in development at CU Boulder to explore possible market applications. For those of you in the know, this is a revamp of our Market Assessment Program—moving the process earlier to work with more researchers and with the goal to provide those researchers with information that will help them pursue various types of follow on funding.

We will participate in a launch party when the site “goes live”—Friday, May 2nd at 12 PM in ATLAS at CU Boulder. I hope many of you will be able to join us…and help us spread the word to your networks. There are many great reasons to get involved—supporting hands on training for CU Boulder students, playing a role in the commercialization process, and preparing CU Boulder projects to have impact in the clean tech industry. In addition, we are very excited to be part of this pilot for CU Boulder!

If you have any questions about our project or the crowd funding pilot, feel free to contact Candace directly.
