Previous Cohort Companies

Air Company is transforming carbon dioxide captured from the air into impurity-free alcohols for spirits, fragrances, sanitizers and a variety of consumer industries, as well as for carbon-negative fuel in the long-term.

AllCell Technologies is making lithium-ion batteries safer and faster to charge with a patented passive thermal management material. The phase change composite (PCC) material incorporated in their lithium-ion battery packs is used to spread and absorb heat as the batteries cycle and generate heat.

Alumina Energy is developing modular energy storage systems that can be incorporated with thermal generation systems to improve operational flexibility, increase capacity, and reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Antora Energy is building large batteries for the grid at remarkably low costs, using modified solar panels to change heat to electricity efficiently. This technology will both improve grid resiliency and provide long-duration energy storage at 1/20th the cost of conventional batteries.

BattGenie is offering battery management software solutions that enable safer, longer-lasting, and faster charging lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.

BlueDot Photonics is developing a cost-effective and scalable manufacturing process to create solar panels using perovskite materials, which can increase solar panel output by at least 10 percent.

Electrical Grid Monitoring Ltd. created its Meta-Alert™ system to secure real-time communications and perform self-learning analytics on the whole grid. The collected data produces insights for optimal grid management and operation.

Electrified Thermal Solutions is developing energy storage technology built on a novel joule-heating system that converts zero-carbon electricity into heat, which can be used to replace fossil fuels in industrial processes.

Hygge Power (d/b/a CO-Z) is building a new platform for flexible energy storage in apartments, homes and small businesses. Their in-home network of small storage devices works together to act as one giant battery, allowing renters and homeowner to deploy backup power where it's most important at a lower cost.

Icarus, RT creates a hybrid solar-thermal photovoltaic system that stores and uses leftover “waste heat” from solar panels to generate power on demand. This significantly increases power output per panel and lowers overall cost per kilowatt.

Induction Food Systems is creating a scalable, precise, and efficient inline heating solution for food and beverage manufacturers, eliminating the complexities, costs, and greenhouse gas emissions of conventional steam heating.

Intertie has developed a modular smart grid technology, the EV ChargePod, that advances the ``Grid of the Future`` by simultaneously delivering ultra-fast EV charging, intelligent storage, solar integration and other electric services, while improving grid reliability and raising utilization.

Jolt Energy Storage uses organic compounds to develop safer and more efficient flow batteries with the same large-scale storage capabilities as lithium-ion, but at a lower cost.

Liminal Insights (formerly Feasible, Inc.) developed a technology platform that uses sound waves and data analytics to deliver insights about batteries across the value chain. Liminal Insights' technology enables the adoption of clean energy by improving the performance and safety of battery packs.

Microgrid Labs is developing a modeling, simulation and optimization software platform for fleet managers to help them make decisions about how to cost-effectively and quickly electrify their multi-vehicle fleets, such as city bus agencies, school bus fleets and commercial truck operators.

Ionomr Innovations is developing ion-exchange membranes and polymers used for electrochemical applications in order to reduce the use of cost-prohibitive and toxic materials. Applications include green hydrogen production, hydrogen fuel cells and carbon capture and utilization.

Resonant Link is manufacturing high-performance wireless chargers for electric vehicle fleets to be used while they operate, providing both higher power and lower costs.

Span is reinventing and redesigning the in-home electrical panel. Their goal is to make it easy and inexpensive to integrate renewable energy sources into the average electrical panel.

Versogen is developing a breakthrough electrolyzer technology that uses water and renewable energy to produce green hydrogen at scale in a reliable and affordable way. Versogen’s systems are built around its patented anion exchange membranes (AEM) and earth-abundant materials.
