Company History
The Clean Fight was founded in 2020. The first cohort of The Clean Fight 2020-21 was focused on Clean Building solutions, helping to decarbonize New York's buildings in a New York minute. Applications are currently open for the second edition of The Clean Fight 2021-22, focused on high-growth, scalable solutions tackling the decarbonization of the mass-market of buildings. Those that are tough to crack but critical to decarbonize. Where many stakeholders don’t have the same time, resources and funding as their Class A brethren. Buildings that are more likely to house frontline and underserved communities, whose greening not only creates climate impacts, but disproportionate health, comfort and savings impacts.
