Empowering founders to launch energy technology solutions.

We give startups the support, guidance and connections they need so they can get to work. Whether that means getting their business off the ground and running or taking a product with potential & turning into a sustainable business, and everything else in between. We empower startups by supplying them with introductions to our diverse network of partners, advanced technology, access to funding and the spaces they need to accomplish this.

We live our mission by being BRITE.
