Welcome to the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) application for Incubation Cohort 14!
The LACI Incubation Program is a two-year program offering hands-on support for cleantech startups with solutions in Clean Energy, Zero Emissions Transportation, and Smart & Sustainable Cities to grow in Los Angeles. The first four months are the program development period, a hybrid schedule of virtual and in-person sessions at the La Kretz Innovation Campus focused on investment readiness, customer acquisition, and impact. Founders take part in workshops, one-on-one coaching, roundtables on go-to-market, investor readiness, and pilots, along with networking events. For the rest of the program, each company works with a dedicated Executive in Residence (EIR) toward the goals in a custom business roadmap, covering fundraising, product development, market access, team growth, pilot deployment, and partnerships.
