Cox Cleantech Accelerator Winter 2027
Cox Cleantech Accelerator invests $250K in each of five climate startups for a 12 week program in Atlanta. Winter 2027 applications close November 8, 2026.
The Cox Cleantech Accelerator is a 12 week program in Atlanta for startups working on sustainability and climate. It runs in partnership with gener8tor and the Georgia Cleantech Innovation Hub. Each cohort has five companies, and each one gets a $250K capital investment.
Founders get individual coaching and meet more than 100 serial entrepreneurs, investors and industry experts. The program also helps them build relationships with investors and corporate partners for pilots, and ends with a live pitch event with investors.
The program is for pre seed to seed stage companies. They need IP secured or patent pending and at least two team members. Teams from anywhere in the world can apply, but they must be ready to be in person in Atlanta for most of the program. Founders from underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Applications for the next program, the Winter 2027 cohort, are open from August 9 to November 8, 2026. Founders apply through the online form, and they can also book a short call with the team first.
Cox Cleantech says it looks for a scalable business model with real market potential, either with revenue or on a clear path to adoption, and founders who are committed to building a climate focused company.
