Volunteers

A huge shoutout to all of our fantastic volunteers!

Over 1,000 volunteers assist Cleantech Open and the entrepreneurs every year, one of the most rewarding and gratifying aspects of Cleantech Open's non-profit mission.

CTO Mentors are experienced businesspeople or technical/functional specialists that work with the entrepreneurs, either on an ongoing basis or ad-hoc or as a "mock judge" or as a business clinic coach.

Volunteers help execute the program by leading various functions, like marketing or mentor leadership or event management, or partner outreach.
