Hoover Enviropreneur Fellowship Program
Fostering Market Solutions for a Sustainable Future
Welcome to the Hoover Institution Enviropreneur Fellowship Program. We are excited about this year’s program and how we can develop a shared understanding of environmental challenges, how they are linked to economic opportunities, and to expand connections among like-minded professionals. We have a number of important items outlined below as we get started with the program.
-
Please review the general outline for your project business plan here. The outline is meant to serve as a guiding framework. Feel free to adapt it in a way that best presents your project. The intent of the prospectus is to help you concisely define your project and share it with program directors and cohorts. Please email your project business plan to Enviroprograms@stanford.edu by April, 10 2026 and upload it to our shared google drive.
