Show Notes
Tiya Gordon beat out Tesla for Boston's curbside charging contract. Instead of having to dig six feet down to tap into high voltage, it's electric EV chargers draw spare power from buildings. But after four years and 9 million dollars raised, they're only just now switching on revenue. Will the investors see the city contracts as a superpower or a red flag?
This is The Pitch for it's electric. Featuring investors Elizabeth Yin, Mike Ma, Rohit Gupta, and Michelle Kwok.
