Chevron Studio is a one-of-a-kind program designed to help entrepreneurs build new companies by linking them with world-class, early-stage technologies developed at universities and federal national labs. The program provides assistance to entrepreneurs to help them scale-up and commercialize these technologies. Chevron Studio is currently focusing on technologies in the following areas:
- Artificial intelligence
- Electrical infrastructure and energy management systems
- Heat and power management
- Hydrogen and biofuels
- Robotics
- Solutions for a circular economy
Developed as a partnership between Chevron Technology Ventures and the National Laboratory of the Rockies, Chevron Studio brings together research institutions to collaborate and enable affordable, reliable, and lower-carbon energy for all.
Chevron Studio is composed of three phases: Discovery, Scale-Up, and Field Trial.
Phase 1: Discovery
Applicants must apply to enter into the Discovery Phase. The award for the Discovery Phase supports the evaluation of selected entrepreneurs' chosen IP and the development of engagement, business, and scale-up plans, a final report, and a pitch presentation over a 3-month period. Please note that applicants should be individuals rather than teams or existing companies, and selected IP must be from the curated IP list provided by the Chevron Studio team. At the end of the Discovery Phase, selected entrepreneurs attend a Pitch Day where they present their final report to the Chevron Studio Joint Steering Committee with the goal of advancing to the Scale-Up Phase.
Phase 2: Scale Up
Entrepreneurs selected to advance from the Discovery Phase to the Scale-Up Phase will form new companies and, over the next 12 to 24 months, work with a university or federal national lab to scale up and demonstrate these technologies at a minimum viable commercial scale. At the end of the Scale-Up Phase, the companies are expected to raise external financing.
Phase 3: Field Trial
Selected companies that advance from the Scale-Up Phase to the Field Trial Phase may be offered an opportunity to conduct field trials at a Chevron or related facility to demonstrate the scalability of their respective innovations and value propositions.
