Introducing deltaQ
Romita Biswas & Wendy Trattner - 09/03/2023
Hi - we’re deltaQ!
We are a climate & sustainability tech community, and we run the dopest climate tech hackathon. Our goal is to bring together diverse groups of people to come up with creative ideas, and then get those ideas out into the world.
Why are we doing this? Humanity is killing the planet. We need this:
We have a worsening climate: fires, hurricanes, heatwaves, droughts
We struggle to meet basic needs: water, electricity, food
We keep making a bigger footprint: waste, co2, plastic, wildlife destruction
So why hackathons? We know most of the tech to solve our climate issues is out there. But the thing is:
The right people aren’t thinking and acting together
The right incentives for innovation are missing
The right support for people with good ideas doesn’t exist
That’s why we’re here. We want you and our community to come together and work on any idea you want - or even take one of ours:
Start an alternative bioplastics business
Improve an algorithm that predicts wildfire spread
Pitch a fast fashion upcycling brand to investors
Write a grant proposal for solar panel sidewalks in your city
Make a prototype of a refrigerator that uses less electricity
Do whatever you want. All we want is that you go for it. And we’ll be there to help you learn, scope, and scale.
And finally - if we think your idea and team is really cool - then we’ll make it our mission to get your idea out there and funded so you can make a lasting impact.
So hit us up to join the deltaQ community! ;)
