A climate accelerator founded by RMI, connecting startups with corporate and investor networks.
Third Derivative was founded by RMI, the energy research institute, together with New Energy Nexus, to compress the time between a climate technology working and that technology being deployed at scale.
Rather than positioning itself as the primary investor, it functions as a matching layer — connecting screened climate startups with a coalition of corporates, investors, and technical experts.
The programme's cohorts cover industrial decarbonisation, grid technology, buildings, and carbon management, chosen for emissions impact rather than near-term commercial ease.
Its practical value to founders is the corporate coalition: introductions to industrial buyers are typically harder to obtain than introductions to investors.
Global Capital Network connects accelerator graduates with investors ready for the next round.
