Growth Studio’s Accelerator, SELECT for Startups Tackling Climate, Biodiversity, and Pollution

Accelerator Programmes News

SELECT by Growth Studio, our premium accelerator programme for startups tackling climate, biodiversity, and pollution challenges, is open for applications year-round. SELECT is designed to empower founders who are on a mission to make a meaningful impact, offering a one-of-a-kind syllabus-free model that provides bespoke, one-on-one consulting to scale from seed investment to market success.

What is SELECT?

SELECT by Growth Studio isn’t your typical accelerator. Instead of a set start and end date, SELECT is an “always-on” programme that invites startups to apply whenever they’re ready to take the next big step. By eliminating a rigid cohort structure, we’re able to provide a highly personalised experience—working with founders at the right moment for them, when they need us most.

Designed for bold founders working on innovative solutions in Climate, Biodiversity, and Pollution, SELECT offers a unique, syllabus-free approach that provides tailored, one-to-one consulting and guidance, helping startups rapidly scale from seed funding to market launch, empowering them to deliver both commercial success and a positive environmental impact. 

Why an “Always-On” Accelerator?

Unlike traditional accelerators, SELECT by Growth Studio does away with a set curriculum, focusing instead on individualised consulting. Growth Studio’s team of experts work closely with each startup, offering hands-on support in areas such as market validation, business modelling, fundraising, and go-to-market strategies. 

As an “always-on” programme model, SELECT accommodates the dynamic and unpredictable nature of startup growth. Now, founders don’t have to wait for a specific intake period. They can apply and begin as soon as they’ve been selected and are ready, gaining immediate access to Growth Studio’s award-winning mentorship and extensive network of industry leaders and impact investors.

What SELECT Offers

  • One-to-One Consulting: Tailored support in every critical area, from market entry to scaling strategies.
  • Ongoing Growth Support: After the initial acceleration, continue with mentorship and access to exclusive resources.
  • Investor Connections: Receive curated introductions to aligned investors, ready to support impact-driven ventures.
  • Impact-Driven Network: Join a network of peers and mentors committed to building sustainable, scalable solutions for the planet.
“Innovation in the sustainability space is vital, but founders often struggle to secure the right support and investment to scale. SELECT is designed to change that. Our programme is laser-focused on helping startups overcome barriers, connect with investors, and get their solutions in front of the people who need them most. It’s all about making impact-driven startups thrive.”
– Rayan Jawad, Co-Founder of Growth Studio

In addition to one-to-one mentoring, participants in SELECT will also benefit from access to Growth Studio’s network of industry leaders, investors, and key stakeholders in the climate and sustainability sectors. The programme provides a powerful launchpad for startups looking to make a difference and scale quickly. 

“We created SELECT to meet the urgent need for scalable solutions to the climate crisis. This programme goes beyond theory, offering real, practical support that helps founders not only refine their ideas but also take them to market faster. With SELECT, we’re helping startups solve critical environmental problems while building sustainable, investible businesses.”
– Paul Finch, Co-Founder, Growth Studio
