The NEVCA fosters a collaborative, inclusive, and prosperous innovation ecosystem on behalf of New Englands VC industry. Operating across four pillars - Venture Community, Regional Brand, Workforce Development, and Public Policy - the associations initiatives impact the community at large: events connect founders, funders, and innovators; legislative advocacy promotes economic growth; programs bolster professional development across the venture landscape.

Residential air conditioning is becoming a necessity rather than a luxury. Three billion new residential air conditioning units will be purchased and installed throughout the world by 2050. India and China will account for the majority of this global expansion. Using a novel desiccant material developed at MIT, Transaera is developing an ultra-efficient air conditioning system that will bring comfort to billions of people while reducing the impact on climate and grid infrastructure.

Infinite Cooling began as a groundbreaking research project at MIT, where our founders set out to tackle water scarcity and inefficiency in industrial cooling systems. This innovative work has since evolved into a mission-driven company dedicated to redefining water management. With a focus on sustainability and cutting-edge technology, we aim to create a future where water resources are conserved and industrial processes operate more efficiently. Today, Infinite Cooling is transforming how industrial facilities manage their cooling systems. Our patented solutions, TowerPulse™ and WaterPanel™, optimize cooling tower operations and recapture pure, demineralized water from cooling tower plumes. These innovations reduce waste, enhance operational efficiency, and eliminate visible plumes, helping industries like power generation, manufacturing, and data centers achieve their environmental and performance goals, while minimizing operational costs. Our Achievements: • Grand Prize winners of the MIT $100K, MassChallenge, and Rice Business Plan Competition • National Cleantech Grand Prize recipients from the Department of Energy • Recipients of multiple competitive federal grants from DOE, NSF, DOD, and EPA Join us in revolutionizing industrial water use and building a sustainable future 🌍

Feon Energy is pioneering the next leap in energy storage by revolutionizing battery electrolytes, the critical yet often overlooked component. Our pharma-inspired molecule design platform enables us to invent tailored electrolyte molecules for each battery chemistrys unique needs, rather than force-fitting existing materials. This innovative approach allows us to develop non-flammable, high-performance electrolytes that unlock new frontiers in safety, cost, and energy density. By redefining battery electrolyte, we are set to transform industries - from making electric vehicles safer and more accessible to enabling the future of electrified aviation. Based in the greater Boston area and born from Stanford University research, were not just improving batteries; were revolutionizing how energy is stored and used.

Emvolon is a venture-backed MIT spin-off accelerating a zero-carbon future by converting methane, CO2 emissions, and waste into carbon-negative fuels and green chemicals like methanol and ammonia. Emvolons technology enables marine, aviation, energy, waste management, and agriculture to power the economy without emissions.

florrent is a Massachusetts-based, minority-owned DeepTech company innovating to design and build the next generation of high energy density ultracapacitors that will stabilize electrical grids and address critical bottlenecks for the adoption of renewable energies, electric vehicles, and net-zero buildings. Our ultracapacitors are manufactured in Western Massachusetts from abundant and regenerative hemp biomass, grown domestically in the US by Black and Indigenous farmers.

Harmony is introducing the first human breast milk-based infant formula to the market. Using biotechnology, Harmony produces breast milk components to bring a nutrition solution that is more natural for babies than cow’s milk formula. Hypoallergenic, non-GMO, and environmentally friendly, Harmony delivers the peace of mind parents need and the human nutrition babies deserve. Through precision fermentation technology, Harmony is producing human breast milk components to eliminate the need for cow’s milk in formula. 95% of infant formula is based on cow’s milk, causing adverse and allergic reactions in 1 out of 6 babies. For these babies, the current hypoallergenic solutions smell and taste awful, and can cause adverse reactions of their own. By using human breast milk components, Harmony smells and tastes as natural as human milk and delivers nutrition much closer to breast milk than any cow’s milk formula.

Cyvl is redefining how our nation builds and maintains roads, transforming the future of infrastructure to benefit communities across the country. Our mission is simple yet powerful: accelerate the future of infrastructure, making our communities safer, more resilient, and better connected. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, we empower municipalities and civil engineering firms to make data-driven decisions, optimize spending, and deliver higher-quality road networks. From advanced sensor systems and predictive analytics to seamless, scalable solutions, Cyvl provides a new level of insight into road conditions, maintenance needs, and strategic planning. We’re proud to be at the forefront of innovation in the infrastructure space, helping cities and counties build smarter, maintain efficiently, and serve their communities better. Join us on our journey to build a stronger, smarter infrastructure for the future.

Inspired by the biodiversity of marine ecosystems, we are reimagining how natural ingredients can be used to improve skin health by mitigating the impact of environmental stress factors including UV-damage and pollutants.
