September 20, 2021. Aliso Viejo, California. Octane, Southern California’s leading accelerator announced today its Fall 2021 cohort of the five non-profits that will participate in Octane’s Non-Profit Accelerator. The Non-Profit Accelerator provides non-profits with the tools they need, adapted from Octane’s award-winning LaunchPad Accelerator, to expand their impact in the community that serves in the STEAM fields. Octane’s Non-Profit Accelerator is made possible by a generous grant from the Edwards Lifesciences Foundation.

This group of non-profits reflect Octane’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, STEAM development and tackling our climate and environmental challenges – all essential, quality of life live/work experiences. “
