BlocPower is an energy technology startup that develops healthier, greener, and smarter buildings. It leverages advanced technologies, innovative electrification equipment, and structured finance to provide green heating and cooling to urban buildings. The company also connects government agencies, utilities, building owners, and smart equipment providers to identify unhealthy, energy-wasting buildings to retrofit. Its propriety machine learning platform then determines which retrofits will produce the most energy savings at scale and uses the cloud and IoT to gather data and remotely monitor energy consumption. Since its founding, BlocPower has completed energy projects in nearly 1,000 buildings and delivers results ahead of schedule and under budget. It utilizes its proprietary software for analysis, leasing, project management, and monitoring of urban clean energy projects and its customers are saving 20-40% on their energy bills each year. The company is backed by top investors, including Kapor Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, American Family Insurance Institute for Corporate and Social Impact, AccelR8, The Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, Elemental Excelerator, CityRock Venture Partners, The Schmidt Family Foundation, and Salesforce Ventures. Donnel Baird and Morris Cox co-founded the company in Brooklyn, New York in 2014.

ClearRoad is reassessing the value of public space and building the funding infrastructure for the future of mobility. The ClearRoad IoT platform facilitates the monetization of roads by government agencies across North America through road usage pricing. It flexibly operates under any programmatic and regulatory designs, across a range of existing and planned vehicle usage identification technologies. The company has already established itself in this nascent space, with existing per-mile programs in Oregon and Washington State, and partnerships with established leaders in the tolling and telematics industries. If we’re going to get the congestion pricing we need to reduce traffic in our cities, government agencies will need help to automate toll road pricing for any section of road without the need for traditional proprietary hardware infrastructure.
