Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator

LACI is a private non-profit organization that helps accelerate the commercialization of clean technologies. We’re creating an inclusive green economy by unlocking innovation, transforming markets, and enhancing communities. Each year, we work with 35-50 companies across our three tracks of cleantech startup programs to raise outside funding and gain traction in the market. Recruitment cycles for these three tracks are open now! ▪ The LACI Impact Fund The LACI Impact Fund is a follow-on venture fund created to support startups in LACI programs. The fund was created to be a founder-friendly fund that aligns with LACI’s mission and prioritizes Environmental, Social, and Economic impact alongside returns. LACI Impact Fund has recently made two investments. The most recent investment, LACI Impact Fund II, invested in two women-founded start-ups: Repurpose, whose mission is to eliminate plastic pollution with its sustainable tableware; and ChargerHelp!, the nation’s only on-demand repair service for electric vehicle charging stations. LACI Impact Fund I invested in 17 cleantech startups. Of the 17 investments, 29% percent of startups are led by a woman founder, and 12% by a Black or Brown founder.
