Request for Proposals: CriticalMass Program Support Service Advisor

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Technology Center is seeking an advisor and provider of support services for its forthcoming CriticalMass program. 

CriticalMass will provide growth-stage climatetech start-ups with grant funding of up to $1,000,000 per project as well as partnership-focused support to scale and deploy novel clean energy and climate technologies that demonstrate strong potential for commercial viability and market penetration while providing significant measurable clean energy and/or climate benefits. The partnerships may be with corporates, municipalities, investors, state agencies, regulators, policymakers, utilities, or other organizations.

To support our administration of CriticalMass, we are seeking applications from organizations with significant expertise and experience in some or all of the following areas: building and maintaining relationships with corporate partners, emerging/mature technology commercialization and acceleration, facilitation of public-sector driven partnerships focused on deploying and scaling technology solutions (TRL 8+), navigating regulatory and policy levers to remove barriers to emerging markets, and convening diverse stakeholder groups to break down such barriers.

The selected organization will assist MassCEC by working with both the growth-stage startups companies who are looking to conduct large-scale deployment projects and their corporate, municipal, university or other partners.
