Tips for Building a Software Business in Smart Grid

7/23/2014

 
Picture
Last week, Young Professionals in Energy Bay Area hosted a wonderful panel on Building a Software Business in Smart Grid at Morrison & Foerster. 

The takeaways were:
1. Say no to VCs - since they'll be after you each quarter about performance 
2. Don't try and sell to utilities - Utilities are slow moving and dependent on the regulatory cycle.
3. IT will torpedo your idea - Convincing the IT department of any company is crucial.
4. Go overseas - Markets overseas can be more open to smart gird technology because electricity is more expensive or countries are building out their grid for the first time. 

Thank you to all the panelists and YPE for putting on the event. It was part of a 3-event series, so see you at the next one!

A website designed by an experienced web designing company can make a clear distinction between a mediocre website and a stellar one. So if you are looking to have a new website or even upgrade an existing website, you better pick out a good web designing company that can match to your requirements.
