Terms in plain English
Halliburton Labs says it is not an accelerator: it provides Halliburton's global industrial capabilities, from engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing to market entry and government relations, to early-stage hard tech energy companies so they scale faster. Participation is structured as an investment: per its FAQ, Halliburton Labs invests $100,000 in cash and takes $400,000 in in-kind equity for the support it provides, generally through a SAFE, though it may be flexible depending on a startup's funding status. The equity percentage is not published. Its homepage says it does not take board seats, commercial rights, or intellectual property rights.
Who this is actually for
Hard tech energy companies that need industrial engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain help more than a large check. Halliburton Labs' stated fit criteria are companies outside Halliburton's core business, at the Seed or Series A stage with at least $10 million of seed funding, and beyond proof of concept and ready to scale; it backs only hard tech startups, not software-only companies, and considers teams still working out their basic science too early. It is open to applicants from anywhere in the world.
