LEEP is a two-year fellowship program to train the next generation of clean tech entrepreneurs to develop and commercialize game-changing technologies for a clean energy future. Since its inception 2015, the program's impact has been vast: 153 new businesses founded, receiving over $2.73 billion in follow-on capital and generating 2,343 new jobs across the country!
