Leave it
Professors and students send in climate-tech research they are not taking forward. Word, Excel, decks, PDF, and video.
The New York Climate Exchange
Leave the work you are not taking forward.
Professors and students building climate-tech startups send in research they will not take forward. Next semester can find it. Ownership and attribution stay on the record.
A hub for leftover climate-tech research, beside nyce.org, not a rebuild of it.
How it works
Leave it. Agree. Review. Find it. A tagging taxonomy so next semester can browse.
Agree
A clear step on IP, ownership, and attribution. The record keeps who agreed and when.
Find it
Next semester browses a tagging taxonomy. Invited work stays invited. Public work is open.
Who it is for
Professors and students developing climate-tech startups. Next semester’s students and aspiring founders. A reviewer at The Exchange.

Files sit in a project
A course, a cohort, or a lab. That is how “what did last semester leave behind on this problem” works.
Course
Climate Venture Studio

A semester studio for students who tried to turn climate research into a venture, then chose to leave the work behind for the next class.
CohortExchange Founders Cohort
The New York Climate Exchange · Spring 2026
Invited founders and researchers who paused a company idea and filed the research so later cohorts could pick it up.

Ownership and attribution stay on the record
Sensitivity around what is shared, and a clear record of who owns what, sit in the product from the start. Submitters agree before a file is stored. The leftover page keeps the authors, the university, and the date.

Questions
A short set of answers from what we know so far. The rest is in the FAQ.
Who is this hub for?
Professors and students at universities who are building climate-tech startups. They are invited to submit knowledge and research they have developed but do not intend to take forward, so next semester’s students and aspiring founders can find it.
Is this a rebuild of nyce.org?
No. This hub sits next to the public site. It is how leftover research is left, classified, and found.
What can I send in?
Word, Excel, decks, PDF, and video. Memos, protocols, term-sheet notes, and similar files about climate-tech work. Large science datasets stay with the data team.
