Happy New Year <<First Name>>!

We are kicking off the new year with some predictions, new associates, and a host of startup opportunities.

LCFS prices, batteries, EVSE installations, and EV startups....We have made some bold predictions for all of them. Hopefully, we do better than in 2022.

The CleanStart team would like to welcome aboard our new associate, Briana Trejo. She has a passion for EVs and is supporting our outreach.

As mentioned last month, CalSEED has returned for 2023. Make sure you sign up for the upcoming Perspectives with CalSEED, Jan 31th. We highlighted some resourceful opportunities Decarbonization Challenge at CSU Fresno, the Circular Economy Innovation Competition, AND the Entrepreneur Bootcamp. Check them out!

Come socialize with us for the upcoming meetup o n the 26th. We are talking about the IRA. Or join us at Green Drinks on the 18th.

Hope to see you around!

Our 2023 Predictions...
