The Biomimicry Institute, a non-profit organization, has announced the opening of applications for its 2024 Ray of Hope Accelerator program. This program aims to support nature-inspired startups with training, networking opportunities, and $15,000 in non-dilutive funding. The program is open to pre-seed to series A stage companies worldwide and will commence with an in-person nature retreat. The goal is to identify the next ten leading nature-inspired startups to join the six-month cohort program, which provides over $50,000 worth of in-kind services. The program has a track record of success, with all previous participants thriving and raising over $100 million in funding to address climate issues such as sea-level rise and plastic pollution. The Biomimicry Institute has a partnership with the Ray C. Anderson Foundation to support nature-inspired solutions. Applications are due on May 3, 2024, and can be accessed on the Biomimicry Institute’s website. The program is open to any startup working on nature-inspired solutions with a positive environmental or social impact.
The Biomimicry Institute is now accepting applications for its fifth cohort of the innovative Ray of Hope Accelerator program, empowering entrepreneurs to revolutionize the future.
