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.
Bowery is the modern farming company growing the purest produce imaginable. We are on a mission to grow food for a better future by revolutionizing agriculture. By combining the benefits of the best local farms with advances made possible by technology, our indoor farms create the ideal conditions to grow post-organic produce you can feel good about eating. BoweryOS, our proprietary software system, uses vision systems, automation technology, and machine learning to monitor plants and all the variables that drive their growth 24/7. Because we control the entire process from seed to store, Bowery farms use zero pesticides, 95% less water, and are 100+ times more productive on the same footprint of land than traditional agriculture. Our produce is currently available at select Whole Foods and Foragers stores in the Tristate area and featured on the menus of Tom Colicchio’s New York restaurants Craft and Fowler & Wells. Bowery is based in New York City and has raised $27.5M from some of the best investors in the world, including General Catalyst, GGV Capital, GV (formerly Google Ventures) and First Round Capital. We are also backed by established leaders and innovators in the food industry, including Top Chef judge and restaurateur Tom Colicchio.
ChargeLab is the Android of EV charging. We don’t build EV chargers, but our hardware-agnostic platform runs on the world’s most popular EV chargers. Once connected, our software makes any EV charger smarter and easier to use.
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.
