Who is Eligible?

We typically focus on Pre-Seed to Series A companies, although startups of any stage and industry are invited to apply. We invite companies – nationally and internationally – to apply.

The program is not for companies only looking to be a vendor of NextEra Energy. If you wish to become a vendor, visit our supplier portal.

 

In-Person Requirement

One founder must be present for programming each week for the duration of the 15-month programming, which typically happens on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. This is a required, non-negotiable part of the program. We do make exceptions for critical business travel as long as priority is placed on programming attendance.

Programming takes place in our 3,000 sq. ft tech space located in Juno Beach at NextEra Energy’s corporate office. The space is equipped with desks, smart boards, multiple pods for calls, and a kitchen. Tour our space on our homepage.
