Category: Other Events

NextCycle Colorado is a business accelerator that challenges businesses, organizations, non-profits, universities, and entrepreneurs to pursue innovative projects that will develop new, or improve existing, recycling and composting end markets in the state. NextCycle helps teams develop their business plans, make connections across the state, find partners, understand industry and economic data, identify feedstock, secure funding, and drive toward shovel-ready projects under the guidance of an expert advisory committee. Since 2018, NextCycle has managed two cohorts and supported 15 teams, all with the potential to bolster Colorado’s recycling end markets. Of those teams, five have been approved for RREO funding to grow their businesses in the state. 

Teams who apply and are accepted into the NextCycle Colorado program will be able to advance their end market business/venture through:

  • No-cost consulting support provided by Resource Recycling Systems’ (RRS) and project SMEs.
     
  • Attending a multi-day business planning-focused bootcamp with travel and attendance costs covered by NextCycle.
     
  • Participation in a Pitch Competition to potential funders, investors, partners, and community leaders.
     
  • Access to subject matter on the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) including experts in material processing, infrastructure, manufacturing, finance, risk assessment, partnerships, and market development.
     
  • NextCycle will be followed by multiple competitive grant rounds administered by CDPHE.
