The Challenge
The Hidden Complexity of Energy Innovation
>90% of energy technologies fail—not because the technology doesn't work, but because technology companies underestimate the journey.
18-36 months
Enterprise Sales Cycles
Energy moves deliberately at enterprise scale. Breakthrough technologies need patient capital, institution-worthy credibility, and experience navigating extended validation cycles.
40+ stakeholders
Complex Buying Centers
Legal, procurement, operations, safety, finance, labor—all have veto power in enterprise-scale energy projects. Success requires consensus building -at scale- to achieve escape velocity.
90%+ fail
Mind the Gap
Technologies that work well in controlled environments often can't handle enterprise integration, and organizations that don't understand the economics of operational reality and regulatory complexity usually fail.​
