Rondo Energy’s Post

I love my job. I get to spend every day engaging with some of the world's most innovative and exciting startups in batteries, energy storage, and grid-tech, who are helping to change the world for the better. 🔋 ❤️ One of the most exciting is About:Energy, a company disrupting the way batteries are designed and optimised, and the team have achieved remarkable things in such a short space of time. I love this latest Leaders in Cleantech #podcast with Gavin White, CEO & Co-Founder, where he discusses his entrepreneurial journey, About:Energy's origins, and the future plans for this exciting business. About:Energy are certainly one to watch over the next few years! #energystorage #battery #batteries #batterydesign #batterysoftware https://lnkd.in/dZMc_gTd

Digital twin technology in energy efficiency reveals stark contrasts between Australia and the United States, with each country shaped and influenced by its unique approach to risk, regulations, and scalability. Digital twins are like virtual replicas of buildings, linking different data sources to give real-time, clear insights. On a special podcast produced by InnovationAus.com in partnership with Verizon, Daniel Kalnins, head of new build at Willow, and Tim Stewart, co-founder and COO at Exergenics highlight the speed and scale of the US market, which employs more punitive regulatory measures, pushing companies to comply to avoid penalties.

🦄Top 7 CleanTech Unicorns in 2024 The#Cleantech industry is filled with successful companies that have raised millions of dollars in VC funding that came from some of the top investors in the world. #ESG #impactinvesting Many of these successes have turned into unicorns — private companies worth over $1 billion. There are more than 1,000 unicorn companies around the world. There are several options that unicorns have when it comes to their exit options, including: - Remaining private. Founders who want to retain control tend to keep their unicorns private. But this limits the potential for growth. And they often must find ways to provide funders with a return on their investments. - Going public. Companies get access to the capital they need to grow with an initial public offering (IPO). Some unicorn executives may be slow to take their companies public because it means diluting ownership. - Appealing to a buyer. Company owners and executives can achieve their goals quicker than if they remain private or by going public. Each exit route has its own implications for stakeholders, including investors, employees, and the company's founders. The choice of exit strategy often depends on various factors such as market conditions, the company's growth trajectory, and the preferences of its stakeholders.
