Touring solar sites in the desert
We went and spoke to a number of solar facilities in the high desert over the holidays. Shutdowns due to heat are common in the summer!
Submitted NSF SBIR application. Fingers crossed!
The SBIR and STTR programs fund a diverse portfolio of startups and small businesses across technology areas and markets to stimulate technological innovation, meet Federal research and development (R&D) needs, and increase commercialization to transition R&D into impact.
HI completes CleantechOpen
CleanTech Open finds, funds, and fosters the most promising cleantech startups on the planet.
NSF I-Corps 107 customer interviews complete
The U.S. National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps (I-Corps™) program is an immersive, entrepreneurial training program that facilitates the transformation of the invention to impact. This immersive, seven-week experiential training program prepares scientists and engineers to extend their focus beyond the university laboratory — accelerating the economic and societal benefits of NSF-funded and other basic research projects that are ready to move toward commercialization.
HI Summer Internship Completion

H.I. is accepted into the national accelerator CleanTech Open!
Since 2005 Cleantech Open (CTO) has trained over 3,500 entrepreneurs from 1,800 early-stage clean technology startups through its annual business accelerator. A majority of CTO alumni surveyed have survived the merciless technology startup “valley of death” and gone on to raise over $1.5 billion equity, and in recent cohorts, 39% of founder CEOs self-identified as BIPOC and/or women.
Fuzehub Innovation Grant application with CNF
Our proposal has been successfully vetted by Cornell to apply for the Fuzehub Innovation Grant with the Cornell Nanoscale Science and Technology Facility. This $50k grant would enable H.I. to de-risk our wafer-scale cooling materials!
H.I. is accepted into the SBIR Phase0 program!
Phase 0 grants support the development of SBIR/STTR Phase I (or sometimes Phase II) proposals.

Heading to NYC for the Advanced Energy Conference this week!
