FUNDING TYPE

Accelerator, Venture Capital

CAN YOU GET THIS?

You must be a pre-seed or seed stage climate tech startup headquartered in one of 16 Greater Midwest states.

Eligible states are IA, IL, IN, WI, MI, MN, KS, MO, OH, TN, KY, ND, SD, CO, NE, and western PA. The fund covers climate tech broadly—mitigation, adaptation, and other environmental challenges.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Competitive but focused: this fund specifically targets an underserved regional capital gap, so it is not a national open call.

The fund runs structured fall and spring cycles, each roughly five months long, meaning there are two cohorts per year. No public acceptance rate is listed, so exact odds are unknown.

WHAT IT TAKES

Confirm eligibility (stage, geography, climate focus) — 30 minutes
Review the 501vc® investment guide and prepare your pitch deck — Several days to weeks
Submit the online investment application form at evergreeninno.org/apply — 1-2 hours

WORTH KNOWING

The fall and spring deadlines start a five-month investment cycle, and the fund contact (Dylan O'Reilly at dylan@evergreeninno.org) is publicly listed—reaching out before applying to clarify fit is a realistic option.
