We’re excited to announce the return of the Founder Fellowship for its fourth year. In collaboration with NYCEDC’s Venture Access NYC initiative, Newlab is set to support a new cohort of 15 climate tech founders from underrepresented communities, providing them with the tools they need to scale their impact.

Fellows will gain access to practical resources through hands-on workshops, connections to industry leaders, and personalized mentoring to help address their specific challenges. Each founder will also benefit from a year-long membership at Newlab Brooklyn and key connections to investors for fundraising support.
