🗣️ $100K Finalist Spotlight: Maisha Mena
🚨 Can you believe it? We’re just 2 days away from OHUB’s $100K Startup Challenge—and today’s finalist is reimagining climate resilience at the neighborhood level.
Meet Maisha Mena, founder of The Grand Capture, based in New Orleans.
Her urban innovation integrates vertical forestry, direct air carbon capture (DAC), and affordable housing—engineered specifically for grandfamilies on fixed incomes. It’s a climate-forward model that merges nature-based solutions with smart infrastructure to cool cities, reduce emissions, and build dignified, intergenerational communities.
🏙️ This is climate tech as systems design—linking housing equity, carbon markets, and urban renewal into one replicable blueprint.
The future of sustainable cities may start right here in New Orleans.
