Greg Monterrosa

As a professional with a passion for entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic development, I am dedicated to supporting and advancing these areas. Throughout my career, I have actively contributed to the startup ecosystem and played a pivotal role in driving business growth.



As an Executive in Residence (EIR) at the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI), I have the opportunity to work closely with startup founders in scaling their businesses. Guiding them through our various programs, including the Founders Business Accelerator and the Innovator Program, I provided strategic coaching and support in areas such as strategy, sales, marketing, leadership, and finance. I also played a crucial role in reviewing new applications and identifying potential candidates for our Incubation and Market Access Program.



In addition, I served as a Venture Scout for The Venture City, actively seeking pre-seed SAS and marketplace startups globally. Identifying and connecting these startups to potential investments, I contributed to the growth and success of early-stage product-centric software companies.



One of my significant accomplishments was co-founding Hub101, a startup center and coworking space in Westlake Village, California. With a mission to encourage businesses to "create, launch, and grow," I helped bring the idea to life and fostered collaborations with government entities, non-profit organizations, and for-profit companies. Through regional events, we facilitated interactions between our founders and these entities, promoting knowledge exchange and supporting their entrepreneurial journeys.



Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my contributions to the community and higher education, receiving certificates of recognition from various esteemed institutions. These accolades are a testament to my commitment to making a positive impact in the regions I operate.



With a track record of success in business development, partnership building, and talent nurturing, I am well-positioned to leverage my skills and expertise in supporting the growth of startups and fostering innovation. I thrive on connecting with like-minded individuals and organizations to create meaningful and lasting impact in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
