Cleantech Open’s (http://www.cleantechopen.com/) mission is to find, fund, and foster entrepreneurs with ideas to solve our greatest environmental and energy challenges. Through their annual business competition and community building program, they use mentoring, training, and coaching to connect cleantech startups with the people and resources that will accelerate their success. They provide a national platform for media and public visibility, as well as up to $250,000 in prize money. Nationally since 2006, 581 companies have participated, have raised an aggregate of $660 million and created more than 2,500 jobs.
