Michael Rigney founded Cala Systems back in 2020, just as heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) were beginning to take off. Because of that shift, he found an opportunity to build a best-in-class heat pump water heater. Fresh off the heels of yesterday's product launch and article in TechCrunch, I sat down with Michael to learn more about what they're building, what's most important to early adopters, and why installers and trades are equally excited. We're excited to support them as part of the Collaborative Fund portfolio. Be sure to reserve yours today; they're planning to ship in early 2025! https://lnkd.in/gGmAe6mj

Great CNBC story about the history and progress of Lovevery with cofounders Jessica Rolph and Roderick Morris sharing how they got started -- and how far the company has come: more than 350,000 people in 34 countries have signed up! As a customer, investor, and former employee its exciting to see how far Lovevery has come (and the products continue to be a staple in our house). cc: Collaborative Fund https://lnkd.in/gi9c-exV

In the last decade, the solar energy sector has witnessed a massive (25%+) year over year growth across residential and commercial sectors. Amidst this momentum, developers still battle with interconnection queues, site evaluation, permitting and a flurry of soft costs that slow deployment. Check out the interview we did with James McWalter of Paces about their recent round and plans to help developers identify and deploy new assets faster than ever. 🌍 Collaborative Fund https://lnkd.in/gQ-JGibA

Why does hydrogen make sense for payload-constrained long-haul trucks? 1. Hydrogen has 10x the gravimetric density of lithium-ion batteries 2. Hydrogen can fuel 50x faster than electric charging (100 miles/minute vs 2-6 miles/minute) Ted McKlveen from Verne shares how their tech is making hydrogen more viable and cost-effective on the FreightWaves podcast.
Check out this week's episode of the FreightWaves Truck Tech podcast to learn about about Verne's breakthrough technology and its role in decarbonizing heavy-duty transportation!
A chilling hydrogen startup takes inspiration for 19th Century sci-fi great Jules Verne

Trust > Hype Some important thoughts on fusion:
Fusion energy is key to solving our current climate crisis. So it’s critical that the fusion industry works together to build public trust. To do that, we must standardize how we evaluate progress. Every fusion concept naturally passes milestones that show it has a viable source of fusion energy and it can commercialize that fusion energy. To help motivate our industry to work together toward this common good, I’ve detailed the standardized approach we use internally to track the ecosystem. Hopefully this is helpful to investors, press, regulators, and the public to use to evaluate real progress. Further, CFS commits to focusing on company milestone announcements that are: ✔ Easy to measure and interpret ✔ Peer reviewed, as the norm ✔ Shared and celebrated publicly ✔ Easy to understand The path to fusion is paved with extraordinary potential for climate and energy, and while we race against time to make fusion a reality we must also get it right. I urge my colleagues and peers to hold ourselves accountable to science, engineering, and commercial progress. A rising tide lifts all boats. Read my full open letter below and let me know what you think. https://lnkd.in/ejiwP3fz
