About two years ago, Adam Compain and I founded Light to modernize the grid and better support renewables. Huge thanks to Stripe for featuring us alongside these other exciting companies!
I’m hiring Austin-based engineers (and more) to join our talented team. Come join us!
There are bps of growth yet to be unlocked in every crevice of the economy. We spoke to a handful of the companies applying emerging technologies to lesser known frontiers:
→ @playdate: bringing joy back to handheld hardware with their crank-operated console
→ @atomic_inc: creating physical goods at the speed of bits
→ Light: building infrastructure for a future powered by renewable energy
→ Katalyst: techwear that intensifies your workout 6x
→ Archistar: accelerating permitting by 50% with AI
→ @Lucid_Bots: drones for dangerous cleaning jobs
→ @sorcerer_earth: collecting 1000x more data points for accurate weather forecasting
→ Masquerade: redefining live theater with immersive technology

It depends on (a) your climate and (b) your home. Happy to run the numbers for you in terms of operating cost and emissions savings between the two options! We built heatpumpshooray.com/ for air-source, but can also run a ground-source through it for comparison

1/ Founders and company leaders know that customer segmentation is important, but often don’t appreciate *why* it's important.

I'm in Austin and am happy to help you get the retrofit done! Heat pumps are excellent here, you can get a better sense using this: heatpumpshooray.com/
Shoot me a message if you're interested in chatting -- I can walk you through the various options here

Yep! It's wires. Big whole thing getting funds from various sources to the right places. At least back in 2012, that was a giant spreadsheet that got put together and then phone calls between bank and sponsor (junior associate) to confirm

If you read that natural gas is the cheaper option, make sure you check the date!

This story from @NPR over the weekend is on our minds: npr.org/2022/09/17/112304275…

Hi friends -- @calvinfo and I have been working on this together, check it out!
Today we’re launching Heat Pumps Hooray: heatpumpshooray.com
We looked everywhere, and we couldn’t find a tool to understand exactly what savings ($$$ and emissions) you could get in your own home. So, we built one.
Here’s why we did it…
