it's electric

it's electric is the world's first public curbside EV charging network powered by buildings. We install Level 2 chargers on urban curbsides that draw electricity from adjacent building spare electrical capacity — bypassing the costly and time-consuming grid interconnection and upgrades required by conventional charging infrastructure. Better yet? We revenue share with every building we connect to.it's electric’s core mission is to unlock EV access for urban drivers that have no private driveway or garage, resolving a critical infrastructure gap.Impact:Nearly half of U.S. households have no private driveway or garage. These drivers — disproportionately renters, lower-income, and from disadvantaged communities (that often are mass transit deserts) are forced to rely on their personal vehicle for daily transportation and as they cannot charge at home are effectively locked out of EV ownership. it's electric deployments are deliberately targeted at multifamily, high-density neighborhoods with high charging gaps, including Justice40-designated communities. In LA, this has meant prioritizing Koreatown and South LA to serve rideshare and delivery drivers who have the highest VMT and therefore the greatest GHG reduction potential per converted vehicle.We are raising our Seed II enabling the runway to unlock our first $10m in revenue via deployment within 9 awarded U.S. cites.

DACLAB Inc

First economically viable Direct Air Capture (DAC) products that remove CO₂ from the atmosphere to make a measurable impact when scaled. CO₂ is captured from air and stored permanently underground to manage atmospheric resources away from greenhouse effects. Captured CO₂ is also used in products like beverages and clean e-fuels which can strengthen global energy supply chains.Low Risk Business Model of an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), similar to how solar panel manufacturers don't build and manage solar farms, we only design and manufacture the carbon capture technology, and our partners deploy and manage the DAC farms. Thanks to six years of R&D, we are now a revenue generating business: $1.7M this year is booked and being delivered.Ready to Ship Products in two form factors which are the Kelvin Tower (350 tonnes of CO₂/year) and the Kelvin POD (100 ton/year unit) that will be made by contract manufacturers. In 2026, our Kelvin POD is being deployed at a brewery in Washington state paid for by the state, and we are delivering the first commercial Kelvin Tower to Deep Sky in Alberta, Canada paid for by the developer Deep Sky — where CO₂ will be permanently sequestered.Strong backers have invested $3.5M into DACLab's seed round to date, including Jane Woodward (Stanford Climate Fund, Fervo board) and Dave Roux (Silver Lake co-founder) and Peter Relan (first investor in Discord). We are now extending our seed round to accelerate deployment of the Kelvin product line.

Viable Gear - Strength from the Sea

Viable Gear is a women-led, mission-driven startup building the next generation of materials. We’ve developed a patent-pending, marine- and soil-compostable bioplastic made from seaweed—designed to replace petroleum-based plastics at scale and reshape the global plastics economy with materials that work with the planet, not against it. The urgency is undeniable: nearly 400 million metric tons of plastic are produced each year, much of it persisting for centuries, while microplastics are now found in our air, water, soils, food systems—and the human body—signaling a systemic failure of conventional materials. Viable Gear offers a better path forward.After years of R&D, powered by more than $1M in non-dilutive capital, we are now at a critical inflection point. We’re raising funds to bring our pilot product to market and unlock our next phase of growth. To reach that milestone, we're targeting a final $300K. Rather than accept premature dilution or risk stalling in the “valley of death” that sidelines so many breakthrough ventures, we are approaching this raise with the same creativity that defines our company—leveraging non-traditional capital sources, including donor-advised fund dollars and other mission-aligned pathways, to bridge to launch.
