Hamilton Perkins Collection Joins LabStart Fellowship to Advance Climate Tech and Circular Fashion Innovation
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from Hamilton Perkins Collection—we’ve officially been selected to join the LabStart Fellowship Program, a prestigious initiative supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Department of Commerce, Better Ventures, Autodesk Foundation, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and the State of Colorado.
Driving Climate Tech Innovation Through Circular Economy Solutions
LabStart is a groundbreaking program designed to accelerate the commercialization of climate technologies emerging from U.S. National Labs and research universities. This fellowship enables us to scale our mission of designing premium upcycled products using global recycled corporate waste, while developing regenerative materials for a truly circular economy.
By combining cutting-edge research with our expertise in sustainable product design, we aim to set new industry standards in eco-friendly textiles, circular fashion, and responsible manufacturing.
Collaborating With Climate Tech Visionaries
We’re honored to work alongside an inspiring group of climate tech innovators, including Deepa Lounsbury, Megan Holcomb, and Troy Daley at LabStart. We’re also proud to collaborate with Breakthrough Energy Fellows Jennifer Wagner and Alice Havill, whose pioneering work continues to drive real impact in the clean tech space.
These leaders share our vision for a more sustainable and equitable future—and together, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with upcycled materials and climate-focused design.
Connecting With Leaders in Fashion, Textiles, and Advertising
As we dive into this new chapter, we’re actively seeking conversations with thought leaders and innovators in the textile, fashion, and advertising industries. If you're passionate about sustainable design, circular supply chains, or eco-conscious branding, we’d love to connect. Reach out directly to our founder, Hamilton Perkins, at hperkins@hamiltonperkins.com.
Join Us on Our Journey
This opportunity marks a significant step forward in our journey toward building climate-positive, zero-waste solutions that not only reduce environmental impact but also empower communities through thoughtful design.
We’ll be sharing updates along the way—stay tuned as we continue to grow, learn, and innovate with some of the brightest minds in climate tech and sustainable business.
