A Global Program for Decarbonization Startups

The Kaplak Decarbonization Accelerator, powered by MassChallenge, is a multi-week program designed to help climate tech entrepreneurs scale their innovations and make a massive impact.

We take up to 10 seed-stage companies per cohort, which are introduced to the ‘Dreams & Details’ leadership framework, as well as a network of accomplished global mentors.

Decarbonizing the planet is the greatest challenge of our time. We believe that with a proven leadership model and a powerful network of support, we can not only meet this challenge but we will also launch a generation of breakthrough companies.

Why you should participate

Our Decarbonization Accelerator is a rare opportunity for founders to scale their vision. Over the course of the program, you will:

Learn the proven Dreams & Details framework for strategy, innovation & leadership
Connect with top industry experts in 1:1 settings
Unlock a global network of 200+ mentors
Pitch to the world’s top venture capital firms
Join a network of 100+ founders and world-class business leaders
Earn the chance to work with one of our Kaplaks post-program, who will help you on your journey to growth

"The value and quality is so high! Great teaching style, good mix of content and one-on-one-time, and it was flexible. Always engaging and no 'busywork'. Great leadership course, different perspective than offered by other programs."

"It was refreshing to see our startup from a different lens. We have already incorporated some of the language produced from the Strategy Map to our regular pitch."

"We came into the program not knowing what to expect from the Dreams and Details framework and exited the program as converts. Thanks for all the individualized support!"

"The strategy map was clearly what I was looking for. That motivated digging more into the Dreams & Details framework that we will fully adopt as a startup company."

Applications will soon open!

Our fall program kicks off in October 2023, and our applications will be live soon.
If you’d like us to reach out when you can apply or if you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out!

Dreams and Details for a Decarbonized Future
– Jim Hagemann Snabe’s TED Talk at Cop26

We were inspired to create this program in the wake of our founder Jim Snabe’s work as the chairman of Maersk, where he used the ‘Dreams and Details’ framework as a blueprint for launching 8 container vessels running on carbon neutral methanol by 2024.
