<h3><strong>Who We Are</strong></h3><p>The Clean Fight is a not-for-profit dedicated to accelerating the equitable adoption of climate solutions in New York State and beyond. Given that many of the technologies we need to solve the climate crisis already exist, it’s imperative that we ensure they are adopted quickly, equitably, and at scale. To enable this adoption, The Clean Fight designs and implements different models of adoption to identify and share the actionable strategies that can lead to the rapid deployment of decarbonization solutions, for all. Our programs focus on different parts of the clean energy economy, with practice areas that include buildings, energy storage, and food services.</p><p>The Clean Fight currently has three core programs. The <a href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/accelerator">accelerator program</a> is New York State’s only accelerator focused on growth-stage companies, supporting innovative climate companies looking to move from initial deployment to broad market adoption. Our program is designed to help them quickly scale by collapsing the sales cycle through high-touch customer and capital partner matchmaking, technical assistance, and non-dilutive investments to help with initial deployments. Our second program, the <a href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/etp">Empire Technology Prize</a>, is a $10M prize program focused on advancing the development and deployment of easy to adopt clean heating solutions for New York's tall buildings. By focusing the world’s best innovators on this issue, combined with the involvement of New York's leading real estate players as demonstration partners, we hope not only to collapse the time to market for these crucial  technologies, but to provide a blueprint for other markets in the US and globally to do the same.</p><p>Our latest program, the <a href="https://thecleanfight.com/programs/capital-challenge">Energy Storage Capital Challenge</a>, is designed to support innovative energy storage projects in need of capital to advance their deployment in New York State. This is a pivotal time for energy storage innovation in New York, with unprecedented Federal and State incentives, policy, and funding to support the deployment of projects. However, significant obstacles exist for innovators and developers to successfully deploy in New York’s unique market. The Energy Storage Capital Challenge is focused on one key need: Aligning capital to accelerate innovative energy storage projects.</p><p>We are supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and New Energy New York (NENY).

<h1><strong>About Pearl</strong></h1>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To achieve net-zero emissions, hundreds of millions of systems that consume natural gas in our homes need to go electric. Whether or not these systems electrify will depend on individual &ldquo;kitchen table&rdquo; decisions made by millions of families, weighing comfort and convenience, costs (up front and over time), and climate impact. But making these decisions is difficult. Evaluating what to buy, what&rsquo;s reasonable to pay, and who to trust to install it involves navigating a ton of bad information and complexity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pearl exists to make home electrification easy for customers and profitable for contractors - starting with home heating and cooling.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pearl is a home electrification &ldquo;concierge&rdquo; - our purpose-built software platform allows homeowners to instantly generate a value-engineered system design, get a fixed-price quote, and connect with a vetted, qualified contractor to complete the install.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pearl also saves contractors time and money. Today, they do lots of work - a home assessment, system design, bid preparation, customer education, and more - at risk, before a contract, on a low win rate. Pearl takes care of this, so that contractors spend more time on revenue-generating installs and less time on sales and back-office.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our goal is a win-win-win - for customers, for contractors, and for the climate. </span><a href="https://www.pearledison.com/onboarding/start"><strong>Check out our MVP</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>
