- caminante 5y agoIt'd be interesting if you can scale and reach profitability. It seems like a reboot of EnerNoc and has much of the same team. EnerNoc was burning ~50 million/y on 400 million revenues before it was purchased at a discount by Enel.

- lrobinovitch 5y agoYep, much of the same team, with a different strategy (more tech-focused and participation in more energy market programs). Regulation of DERs largely killed EnerNoc, now Enel X, and the like. Voltus' CEO helped repeal the order[1], ensuring DERs make parity with conventional generators. > if you can scale and reach profitability I don't know what I can actually reveal, but scaling is our focus right now.

- caminante 5y agoThat was a win! In power markets, it's really hard scaling around each market/state's idiosyncracies almost like it's not a technology problem and more regulatory/financing. Hope you guys figure it out.
- lrobinovitch 5y ago100%, well put. Our energy markets team is larger than our engineering team :). But it's also certainly a technology problem in that meeting each market's idiosyncratic requirements requires technology.
- cudgy 5y agoHope you don’t get gobbled up by the energy behemoths that love the centralized grid model.
