November update: We’re gearing up to launch a AI Nature Accelerator this spring. Sponsorship is being finalized and we’re starting to look for the best and brightest nature entrepreneurs solving global challenges with AI. If you’re one of them, we want to get to know you. Reach out to our team.
March update: In 2025 we welcomed Climate Entrepreneurs using AI to advance global climate goals. Nine teams from five world regions have been selected, out of nearly 400 applications, to join the 2025 cohort. Meet the teams below.
We are using our proven early-stage accelerator playbook to put AI to work for climate and nature. Our focus on diverse AI founders and high-impact priority areas will level the playing field and accelerate environmental outcomes.
