Beth Hartman
Project Manager, Incubatenergy Network at EPRI • PLC 2001

Degree(s): Spanish Literature and Journalism

Professional background, interests and expertise: I focus on the intersection between entrepreneurship and clean energy. As project manager for the Incubatenergy Network (www.incubatenergy.org) I work with many of the top clean energy incubators, accelerators, and entrepreneurs around the country to help them more quickly deploy their solutions. I believe climate change is the most urgent challenge that humanity faces and that the transition to a sustainable economy needs to be accelerated as much as possible.

Hours available for mentoring per month: 5

Best professional advice: Anyone can get involved with clean energy (just look at me, I studied literature) and it is absolutely essential that the best leaders of our generation do so immediately. Many of the challenges we face are not technical, as we already have solutions like solar panels that work very well: we need leaders in policy, markets, business models, communication, etc. to figure out ways to more quickly deploy these existing technical solutions. Join the fight now against climate change to help make sure human history continues to be a thing ;)
