“I remember going from incredibly happy to incredibly isolated.
I was prepared for the business challenges, but not for the psychological & emotional journey we went on.
Nobody warned me about the lonely journey it can be.
But it doesn’t have to be lonely. Keep in touch with your friends & meet other entrepreneurs.
Fight the temptation of isolation so that you can stay connected.
Because if you are connected, you are going to be okay!”

The programme is designed specifically for pre-seed, seed & Series A ClimateTech ventures. We also love bootstrapped ventures (we are one ourselves). If you're bootstrapped we'd need to see significant team experience, traction or validation so that we can help you.
We love the early stages, but are looking for founders who are beyond the idea stage!
Our community is incredibly diverse, but one belief unites us: Using the power of technology and entrepreneurship to create solutions to the world's toughest social & environmental problems.
Sounds like you? You found your tribe!
It's great if you're already well-connected in your local startup hub. We help you connect to founders and investors globally with a focus on North America & Europe.
Connect with members, investors & experts globally!
The magic of the Fellowship truly unfolds when each Fellow approaches it with an attitude of giving without expecting anything in return.
Call it Karma or just simple maths: If everyone gives more than they take, everybody benefits.
We carefully assess each applicant to match this culture of generosity
We are very clear about the results we promise, but we need you to execute swiftly on the advice and support you get from us.
The best results will be achieved with dedicating 3-5 hours per week for the Kick-off-Bootcamp.
We are all busy, but time invested into the Fellowship is paid back many times by the progress it unlocks.
The Fellowship is designed for founders that are well beyond the idea stage. This is why we only select founders that are fully committed to their venture and that show clear potential to build a truly scalable ClimateTech startup. If you're at the idea stage, drop us an email at team@impacthustlers.com and we can suggest alternatives.
The Fellowship only works for serious founders with serious potential.

Great connections and amazing sessions!
90% of startups fail. This is widely accepted as normal.
We cannot accept this, especially not in ClimateTech.
While it's easier than ever to start a company, it's incredibly hard to build a scalable, profitable business while also solving humanity's largest problem: the climate crisis.
Most founders - like myself - struggle with two challenges:
1. Making rapid progress on their #1 priority & understand what they need to fix to achieve success
2. Surrounding themselves with expert mentors & like-minded peers that can be there for the good and the bad times.
Paul Graham says, “Most startups fail because they don’t make something people want, and the reason most don’t is that they don’t try hard enough.”
That's true, but in reality this happens because founders get burnt out by the constant grind and don't have the support system around them to help them choose the right path.
This is why we built the ClimateTech Founder Fellowship, a program giving founders the support system they need to make rapid progress fast while guided by expert coaches, experienced founders and peers at their stage.
Hope to see you in one of our next cohorts!
