IMPEL⁺ Innovators are entrepreneurs and small businesses, National Lab, Government or Non-profit experts, or Faculty and Graduate Students working in the built environment space such as engineering, architecture, urban design, facilities and real estate, healthy buildings, energy services, microgrids, data science, and other applicable areas. Innovators come to the IMPEL⁺ workshops with a project, technology, program, or idea to pitch.

IMPEL⁺ provides value to Innovators in at least three critical areas:

1. World-class pitch coaching: Expert Silicon Valley Coaches provide dynamic guidance using interactive tailored exercises, on-camera training, and live professional critique for Innovators to develop roadmaps and value proposition for critical audiences

2. Growing Innovators' networks: Develop sustainable relationships between building entrepreneurs, industry and manufacturing collaborators, professionals, and national labs.

3. Gaining access to incubation opportunities: Workshop participants will have twin pipelines of access to strategic stakeholders that could help selected Innovators spin out or hand off their technologies. This is specifically designed to de-risk earlier stage technologies by leveraging public sector funding and validation, and as possible, private funding.
