Greenr Sustainability Accelerator Program (India)

They help identify and execute strategies to build resilient revenue models and world-class enterprises alongside the most promising Environment Action Entrepreneurs. Their aim is to restore the environment and uplift communities around the world through your scale-bound startups.

Their year-long program ensures tailored growth advice for an exponential increase in green consumption.

How they help

• Build Strategic Insights
  • There’s more to venture than capital. Greenr Business Advisors work with you full-time to create a robust business plan that identifies short-term and medium-term growth priorities and execute them together.
• Secure Fundraising & Financing
  • Sometimes, the only thing hindering scale is access to finances. On Demo Day, you get to pitch to their ecosystem partners, such as impact funds like Peak Ventures, Green Artha, India Angel Network, Chennai Angels, 3i Partners, Acumen, Climake, Rainmatter, Caspian Debt and others to get to that next step. They aim to unlock avenues to small business financing (debt & equity) and grants.
• Access Market Linkages
  • Access new customer segments and markets, both domestic and international. Network within and outside of the program for value-building and revenue-driving conversations.
• Identify and implement business acceleration levers
  • They help you grow your business and improve efficiency by optimizing marketing strategies, streamlining processes, and fostering innovation through new technologies and partnerships.
• Community of Peers
  • In a world obsessed with valuations, they care about value. Network with like-minded entrepreneurs building a brand of conscious capitalism just like you!
• Continuous Upskilling
  • They provide a refresher course with a top-tier B-School and offer continuous interventions related to your business. This empowers individuals and organizations to adapt, innovate, and thrive in an ever-evolving marketplace. Their interventions cover strategic planning, financial management, and leadership expertise, which enable professionals to navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities.
