Opportunity Hub (OHUB), a New Orleans-based new energy technology incubator, is hosting a $100,000 startup investment challenge to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in South Louisiana. The event, scheduled for June 25 at The Shop at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans, will feature five finalists from OHUB’s Climate Tech Accelerator pitching their ventures to a panel of expert judges.
The competition marks the culmination of OHUB’s three-month Climate Tech Bootcamp, a rigorous program designed to prepare early-stage companies to build, scale, and attract investment. The winning startup will receive $100,000 in early-stage capital to further its mission and expand its market reach.
The evening will include live pitches, fireside chats with industry experts, and networking opportunities with founders, investors, and community members. Lauren McCray, Chief Revenue Officer at Square, will serve as one of the event’s judges, while Anthony Oni, Managing Partner of the Elevate Future Fund at Energy Impact Partners, will deliver a keynote during the fireside chat.
Attendees can register to join in person or virtually through the OHUB Ecosystem App at www.ecosystemapp.co. The event promises to be a high-energy showcase of vision, technology, and impact, with Q93’s Wild Wayne emceeing the evening.
