Rose Rock Bridge partners with energy corporations—Devon Energy, H&P, ONEOK, and Williams—to define and prioritize their most critical innovation needs. We do this by conducting deep dives into market trends and strategic gaps to build a proprietary innovation radar for our partners. We then discover, derisk, and deploy the very best-in-class technologies from the global innovation ecosystem back into our corporate partners’ operations.
Selected applicants will participate in a 6-week virtual pilot deployment accelerator (May 11 - June 18), during which startups will assess pilot feasibility with corporate partners and build industry relationships.
At the culmination of the six weeks, startups will present to a panel of the Rose Rock Bridge advisory board for the opportunity to win $100,000 in non-dilutive funding. Winners will be selected and announced in July, and will receive $100,000 and business concierge support for one year toward pilot deployments and contracts with our corporate partners.
