Electrify Nevada

What Electrify Nevada does

Electrify Nevada is an accelerator program focused on sustainable energy and circular economy startups in Nevada, operated by gener8tor — a privately-held venture capital firm and accelerator headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. The program runs free cohorts in Reno and Las Vegas as part of gener8tor's gBETA industry-specific program franchise, with a Fall 2025 cohort announced for both cities. Startups are recruited through competitive online applications and receive mentorship, weekly coaching, investor introductions, and access to gener8tor's broader ecosystem including a 1,500+ alumni investor network and $100M+ AUM. The program does not take equity and charges no fee to participants; instead, it is funded through vendor sponsorships and partner grants.

The core offering is not a technology product but a structured cohort-based service delivery platform built around mentorship swarms, office hours, programming events (such as gener8tor's BOLT Conference), and warm introductions to investors and corporate partners. Participants also gain access to $1M+ in vendor perks from sponsors including IBM Cloud, Amazon, Microsoft, PayPal, Rackspace, Zendesk and HubSpot. The program's go-to-market is event-driven and community-led: applicants apply through gener8tor's website, are selected via interview, and participate in cohort programming that connects Nevada-based clean energy and circular economy founders to the parent gener8tor network across 50+ U.S. communities and international locations.

As a subsidiary program within gener8tor, Electrify Nevada does not operate as an independent revenue-generating entity; it inherits gener8tor's nationally-ranked accelerator brand (recognized by Fast Company as a Best Workplace for Innovators in 2021 and 2022) and operational infrastructure. The strategic rationale is to seed gener8tor's deal flow and community presence in Nevada's emerging energy ecosystem while extending the parent's vertical-specific program portfolio beyond its existing tracks in sustainability, insurance & wealth, agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, and education & workforce.
