Meet Our Members: Introducing Greentown’s Newest Startups of Q2 2022

Twenty startups joined our community in the second quarter of 2022, working on innovations as diverse as a solution to enhance oceans’ natural ability to capture CO2, biotechnologies to produce wood products without cutting down trees, and a turnkey development approach to waste-heat-to-power projects.

We’re thrilled to support these groundbreaking climatetech startups—let us introduce you!

Buildings

Teknobuilt is a construction technology company offering an AI platform to help all aspects of program management and execution for workflow automation, collaborative manual tasks, and siloed systems.

Electricity

Arco Technologies is developing a proprietary anion exchange membrane electrolyzer with the lowest capital expenditures and operating expenses possible today.

EVLO designs, delivers, and operates energy storage systems with advanced safety and sustainability features to power a brighter future.

Kanin Energy’s third-party financing model and turnkey development approach to waste-heat-to-power projects enables industrial partners to quickly monetize waste heat while significantly mitigating risks of deployment.

Optigon utilizes rapid, contactless measurement techniques to deliver a holistic understanding of a solar cell’s performance at each stage of the manufacturing process and throughout its service lifetime.

WeaveGrid’s technology leverages embedded vehicle telematics—data, controls, and communication systems—and charging equipment to transform unpredictable and disaggregated EV charging loads into a cohesive network of controllable grid resources.

Manufacturing

Advanced Ionics is enabling green hydrogen production without the green premium.

Carbonext produces high-quality graphene in a cost-effective, sustainable, and scalable manner.
