The Environmental Sustainability Entrepreneurship Program

The Environmental Sustainability Entrepreneurship Program, powered by Watson Institute, empowers impact-driven, underserved entrepreneurs who are creating environmental products and services. Through this no cost program, we support both nonprofit and for-profit entrepreneurs in the Denver Metro Area. This comprehensive program provides award-winning training, dedicated mentorship, a $1,000 community development fund to host your own Basecamp workshop for earlier-stage entrepreneurs, and sustained support to entrepreneurs whose ventures create lasting environmental and social impact. Watson Institute wishes to thank the JPMorganChase Foundation for its philanthropic support of the program.
