Companies and organizations of interest: a massive list of clean tech, green tech, sustainability consulting, foundations and other start-ups, companies and organization (See the detailed spreadsheet here)
During my job search, I very dutifully kept track of nearly every organization/company/start-up that people recommended I look into or that I came across in some other way. I would like to thank everyone in my network for contributing to this list, and one colleague, Nick, in particular, who inspired this list to come about as well as built it out more than I even did.
I’ve divided my list into a few broad categories.
- Companies, start-ups, non-profits and foundations
- VC firms
- Job sites and resources
Check out the spreadsheet here or see the summary below. If you’d like access to the document to collaborate on it, just let me know.
If I had time I would love to clean this ugly list up, fill in all missing sites and add locations and descriptions of each listing as well as divide the list by type of organization. For now, this rough, incomplete list will have to do. Please suggest additions and if you would like to collaborate on the list, please let me know and we can get you an account.
Companies, start-ups, non-profits and foundations
