We are deeply saddened by the magnitude of destruction and displacement being left behind in Los Angeles by the ongoing wildfires. EarthGrid is actively looking for ways to help. Our team is ready to deploy our Plasma Excavation System to aid in removing rock, concrete, and other hard debris from the affected areas. Our thoughts remain with those affected; We will be ready to help rebuild infrastructure when the time comes.





“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐲” - Opportunity creep is the killer of traction. We had Troy Helming (@SolarNinjaTroy), Founder & CEO @ @earthgrid_io joined us last week and he left a profound impact on our Fall 24’ founders. Here are some of the takeaways our founders took from the session: "I definitely underestimated the sheer number of pitches it takes to land funding. Troy went through over 2,400 investors to secure more than $60M over five years. That’s some serious persistence—it’s eye-opening and a bit daunting." "Maintaining balance is essential. Founders are constantly hit with unexpected challenges, so staying rested (sleep), focused (exercise), and fueled (eating clean) is non-negotiable. Troy is a great example; he manages it all—raising kids, eating clean, and still crushing it with his business. It’s genuinely inspiring." “You can’t be a workaholic and not invest in the relationships around you. There’s no point reaching a $1M exit and having no one to share the success with. You have to treat people well regardless of how stressed you are.” About Troy Helming: Troy Helming has a prolific track record, he’s: 🦄 A 2X unicorn founder (with 6 company exits) 🔧 An inventor with over 60 patent claims 🏃♂️ An elite athlete (American Ninja Warrior) ⚡️A clean energy advocate, author of “The Clean Power Revolution” and building technology to move us to sustainable cleaner energy
