The Melt ENGAGE 2026

Three days in the Hunter with climate tech founders, industry execs who actually write cheques, and expert coaching to build real commercial partnerships.

You'll spend three days embedded in the Hunter's industrial ecosystem, getting coached by experienced founders while meeting the executives who fund climate tech. The program pairs structured workshops with tours of working energy, resources, and agriculture operations, so you're not just hearing about commercial pathways, you're seeing them. You'll pitch to Melt Ventures for potential investment up to $300k, and the whole thing is designed around building real partnerships rather than just collecting business cards. This works best if you're a climate tech founder or early-stage team with a solid product and genuine traction, looking to move from proof of concept into commercial relationships with established industry players.
