What Our Past Alumni Are Saying

“I’ve been to business school. It takes a few years. This takes a concentrated two months, it’s pretty intense, and it’s probably more important. It really prepares you to move a company forward.”

Dennis Murphy, Ground Source Geothernal, 2008 Green Building Runner Up and 2008 Sustainability Award Winner

“The Cleantech Open did an outstanding job of providing us with informative workshops and extraordinary mentors…To us, this was more than a competition, it was an invaluable learning experience.”

Gabriel Ayala, Enovative Group,2008 Energy Efficiency Finalist
