The mission of The Greenhouse is simple: to support the growth of young, sustainable, businesses looking to tackle climate change.
At its core, The Greenhouse is a 12-month innovation programme for climate positive technology startups that offers early-stage (“pre-seed”) entrepreneurs access to business coaching with experienced professionals, a range of masterclasses, free workspace at our new headquarters at The Royal Institution in central London, and up to £20,000 in equity-free grant funding. Above all, it provides the opportunity to be at the heart of London’s new climate-focused innovation community at the Centre for Climate Change Innovation (CCCI).
Does that sound good to you? Well, The Greenhouse is now open for applications to its September 2022 cohort!
We will be hosting a number of informal Q&A sessions to give you the opportunity to find out more about the programme and the application process. You will hear from Naveed Chaudhry, The Greenhouse Founder and Lead, and Sophie Van Eetvelt, Greenhouse Programme Manager. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions about the application process and/or the wider programme. Come join us!
At The Greenhouse, we recognise the positive value of diversity in innovation and in society, we strive to uphold equality and aim to challenge discrimination. We welcome and encourage questions and applications from people of all backgrounds. In particular, we have an under-representation of women, Black and other minoritised ethnic groups, and disabled persons, in our startup portfolios. So, we especially encourage applications from founders who identify as part of these groups.
The deadline for applications is 4 July 2022. Don’t forget to apply via the application portal!
The Greenhouse is part of the Centre for Climate Change Innovation (CCCI). It is co-funded by the 2014 to 2020 European Regional Development Fund programme and HSBC UK.
