Accelerator

The Chipotle Aluminaries Project is an accelerator program that supports ventures from across the country that are advancing innovative solutions that promote sustainability and equity within the food system.

 

The program will connect ventures to the people and organizations they need to scale their solutions, including mentors, funders, and partners. Together, we will work tirelessly to break down the barriers that stand in the way of a sustainable and equitable food system.
