VertueLab offers a range of programs, including the Climate Impact Fund, which makes strategic investments in early-stage cleantech startups with high potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They also run accelerator programs like the Cascadia CleanTech Accelerator and 45Camp, providing mentorship, curriculum, connections, and funding opportunities to help founders build supportive communities for their companies' life cycles. In 2023, VertueLab appointed Aina Abiodun as its new president and executive director, bringing expertise at the intersection of climate tech, leadership, storytelling, and social justice to drive the organization's mission forward.
