If I missed you on the @Techstars_Chi closing ceremony invites (June 2nd), my bad -- I blame claude and my new crm. It's smaller format, as we've shifted focus from demo days to 1:1 investor mtgs, but the companies aren't to be missed. Msg me to add you luma.com/za5q1ytu

The grid can't keep up- rising electricity prices, blackouts, & constant strain - so Utilities created $59B incentives to shift energy use to cheaper, cleaner times. But there are 3k utilities in US, each w/ own programs, rules, and complexity. Meet Will @ wattshift.com
