Founders

Aleisha Reese Cerny & Yvonne Liu

Serenity Power

Portable power units built for remote and off-grid sites where running a line in isn't an option.

$500microgrant

Luiz Felipe Di Grado

Inspekto AI

Inspectors photograph and narrate findings on-site, offline if needed, and the app turns that into a report formatted for API 570/510/653 — cutting the writeup from hours to minutes.

Todd Luker

Link NRG

A platform that matches clean fuel supply (hydrogen, RNG, CNG) to the heavy industries that need it — trucking, data centers, mining, rail — instead of each side negotiating one-off deals.

Joshua Strub

SynthGrid

Lenders financing battery storage projects currently take the operator's word that the system performs as promised. SynthGrid pulls the real operating data and runs it through physics-based checks to produce a certification lenders can actually rely on.

Peter Knight

WACORP Wireline Abandonment and Completion Corp.

A wireline tool that sets and pressure-tests wellbore barriers without a service rig or coil tubing unit — same job, done faster, without renting the extra equipment.
