BRITEbase

The first in our series of signature startup programs, BRITEbase is an intensive twelve-week accelerator for advancing startups towards funding readiness by developing and refining their business roadmaps across six critical areas of strategic development. 

Why BRITEbase?

The mission of BRITEbase is to guide energy tech startups to a refined state of funding readiness with defined business foundations, strategic roadmaps, pitches and go-to-market strategies that will advance them to funding and industry opportunities within BRITE’s network and programs. Graduating participants emerge from BRITEbase with increased awareness of their competitive and industry landscapes, specific funding requirements and business development needs. BRITEbase is fully virtual, so it can be completed from anywhere.
