Network Members

Network members are organizations—like test facilities, incubators, manufacturers, law firms, business development experts, and beyond—with expertise in a wide variety of energy and other tech sectors. American-Made reviews all organizations prior to membership acceptance to ensure they can provide competitors valuable, consistent support.

Members provide technical, business, and financial expertise. That could mean:

  • Business strategy assistance and go-to-market guidance
  • Product development help and access to facilities for prototyping and testing
  • Legal and intellectual property advice
  • Pitch coaching and mentoring throughout the American-Made process.

Network members gain early access to the most promising ideas pulled from all corners of the country. With insight into emerging trends and new business opportunities, partnerships blossom among network members and American-Made competitors. Ultimately, the American-Made Network gives members a community of energy leaders who share a passion for accelerating energy innovation.

Power Connectors are organizations contracted with the American-Made program to provide specific services and complimentary support to applicants in select prizes and competitions. These include universities, accelerators, incubators, and other industry leaders who help with application support, pitch coaching, recruitment efforts, and more. Not all prizes and competitions use Power Connectors; review each competition’s rules to see if tailored support is available.
