Project support
Support levels
We support projects at different stages of development, from testing ideas that validate a pathway to scaling to supporting the launch or rollout of a self-supporting entity or initiative. Teams can enter the Accelerator at any level.

Developing
Advancing substantially toward the pathway to impact and scalability of a solution. Must include external engagement.
We do not seek projects focused upon basic or curiosity-driven research. Other sources at Stanford support these important efforts, but our focus is on scalable real-world solutions to seemingly intractable problems.
Active project engagement
The Sustainability Accelerator team has a proactive, collaborative approach to working with the research teams to help ensure milestones are met and provide additional resources and support when required. This could include business development support, access to expert services, mentorship and networking opportunities, or training and workshops. The Accelerator team can also help researchers navigate and connect with other Stanford programs that support scaling and rollout efforts.
