Pick a lane. Build trust. Ship pilots.

HVB runs on partnership power. Instead of vague “collaboration,” we use clear partner lanes so real work moves forward without burning out any single person.

Partner lanes

The goal is to make progress predictable. Choose the lane where you can reliably contribute, and we’ll connect you to the right pilot cycle.

Propose a pilot site
Lane 1 — Convener
Community trust, listening, local context, and stakeholder alignment.
  • Host briefings / listening sessions
  • Coordinate community questions and FAQs
  • Help ensure EJ considerations are centered early
  • Keep the narrative grounded and benefits-forward
Advocacy groups Nonprofits Educators
Lane 2 — Municipal Sponsor
The “official” anchor that unlocks permitting pathways, public engagement, and funding eligibility.
  • Identify a viable host site or municipal need
  • Support letters / resolutions / internal alignment
  • Coordinate with DPW, planning, and legal
  • Enable a grant submission pathway
Towns Counties Authorities
Lane 3 — Developer / Engineering / Operations
Turning concepts into feasible project plans and de-risking build/operate pathways.
  • Site feasibility + constraints scan
  • Concept-level process design / capex ranges
  • Permitting considerations (at a practical level)
  • Ops requirements and risk register
Developers Engineers Operators
Lane 4 — Feedstock Anchor / Aggregator
Without reliable inputs, projects die. This lane makes the supply reality real.
  • Identify stable feedstock sources
  • Help quantify volume + seasonality
  • Support contracting / routing logic
  • Coordinate haulers and source separation realities
Institutions Haulers Facilities
Lane 5 — Grant Lead / Funding Path

  • Keep the application artifacts coherent
Grant writers Funders Program admins
Lane 6 — Education / Outreach / Speaking Host
Help HVB show up in the region and spread systems literacy without turning it into a TED cosplay event.
  • Invite HVB to speak at conferences / community nights
  • Host workshops on circular organics systems
  • Coordinate student / volunteer support
  • Help translate technical concepts into public clarity
Conferences Universities Community orgs

Partner Pledge (highlights)

This is our cultural immune system. It keeps the work honest, constructive, and trusted. The full pledge is in the PDF.

Open full pledge PDF
  1. Truth over hype: we communicate uncertainties and constraints early.
  2. Community trust first: projects must earn legitimacy, not demand compliance.
  3. Benefits are real: we specify who benefits, how, and how we measure it.
  4. Systems thinking: we consider feedstock routing, operations, policy, and markets together.
  5. Do the work: we ship artifacts (one-pagers, FAQs, timelines) instead of endless meetings.
  6. Respect EJ realities: we do not offload burdens onto the already-burdened.
