LabStart's First Impact Report: Unleashing Climate Innovation
We're excited to share our first annual Impact Report showcasing how LabStart is transforming the lab-to-market path for climate technologies.
Highlights
- 12 new climate startups launched, with half securing equity investments
- 19 university and lab partnerships established across the country
- 300+ patents evaluated for commercial potential
- 38 strategic ecosystem partnerships formed
- 5x revenue growth over two years
Our entrepreneurs are tackling critical challenges across six climate sectors, from next-generation building materials to circular textiles and innovative fuels.
Our Approach Works
The success stories are emerging: alumni hosting Bill Gates at newly opened pilot plants, fellows securing industry partnerships, and startups overcoming the "valley of death" that claims so many promising technologies.
Research shows that early-stage founders receiving support are twice as likely to secure venture funding, validating our approach to targeted funding and technology de-risking.
Looking Forward
In 2025, we'll expand to support 25 deep tech founders while launching our Phase Zero Program and building new tools to accelerate innovation.
