Startups, mentors, and investors united on one rebellious platform.
When EIT InnoEnergy came knocking on Code Rebels' door, they weren't just looking for another boring application form. They needed a full-blown digital ecosystem where green tech startups could shine, mentors could do their magic, and program managers could keep their sanity intact. The mission? Create a platform that would make managing the entire startup program as smooth as a Tesla's acceleration. They trusted us to build something cool, and we were ready to charge ahead.
Picture this: Startup founders hustling to submit their applications, mentors trying to track their progress, and program managers drowning in spreadsheets. The traditional way of running startup programs was about as efficient as using a coal plant to power an electric car factory. The real challenge? Creating a system that could handle everything from the first "hello" of an application to the final "congratulations" of selection, while keeping everyone in the loop and data flowing seamlessly.
Creating a cutting-edge platform for EIT InnoEnergy’s startup program meant solving multiple pain points across global stakeholders:
1. Streamlined Application Management - The existing process was clunky and inefficient, with program managers overwhelmed by spreadsheets and emails, slowing down the startup selection process.
2. Effective Mentor and Investor Collaboration - Mentors and investors needed real-time tools to track startup progress and share feedback, but the lack of a unified system created communication gaps.
3. Global Accessibility and Scalability - The platform had to support startups, mentors, and investors from across the globe, handling diverse time zones and ensuring seamless collaboration regardless of location.
This wasn’t just about building a tool—it was about redefining how global cleantech innovation is managed. That’s #RebelStyle.
"We were skeptical about using low-code tools for such a complex program, but Code Rebels proved us wrong. The platform is robust, flexible, and actually fun to use. Highly recommend!"

Project Management Officer – EIT InnoEnergy
Using Airtable, Webflow, and Make, we built a platform that's as flexible as a yoga instructor and as powerful as a wind turbine farm. Our system handles hundreds of startup submissions seamlessly, provides custom dashboards for investors across every time zone, and delivers real-time collaboration tools for global mentor networks. The analytics track everything from application trends to mentor engagement, powering data-driven decisions.
What happens when you give Code Rebels six weeks to transform a startup program? Magic. We're talking 100+ ambitious startups submitting their green dreams through a platform smoother than a barista's oat milk latte. But here's where it gets really interesting:Mentors & Investors: We turned the nightmare of managing multiple institutional investors into a dream. Each investor got their own personalized dashboard – because one size fits nobody. Whether they were sipping coffee in Singapore or closing deals in Stockholm, they had all their startup data at their fingertips.
Program Managers: Remember those endless Excel sheets? Yeah, neither do they. Now they're running the whole show from one platform, tracking everything from startup metrics to mentor feedback faster than you can say ""unicorn.""Global Impact: The platform didn't just break geographical barriers – it obliterated them. Startups from Warsaw to Toronto could apply seamlessly, while investors from different continents could collaborate like they were in the same room. The result? A truly global cleantech ecosystem that's as borderless as climate change itself.
