I'm ECSTATIC to finally announce I'm joining @gener8tor as Managing Director of the Electrify Nevada Accelerator in Reno-Tahoe!
Now let me tell you why Nevada is one of the most underrated energy tech ecosystems on the planet...
Did you know?
⚡️ NV is #1/2 in solar, geothermal, lithium loop (+ one of the world's largest deposits & only active large scale mine in the US)
⚡️ NV is #4/5 in new data centers and energy storage
⚡️ NV has the LARGEST industrial park (TRIC, right outside Reno & larger than the city of Detroit w/ @Google @Apple @Microsoft @RedwoodMat operating and @OpenAI looking), LARGEST data center campus (@Switch Citadel), and one of the largest buildings (@Tesla Gigafactory) globally
⚡️ NV costs 3-10X less to do business than CA (and is only 3-4 hours from Silicon Valley)
⚡️ NV is growing VC 9x faster & battery manufacturing 6x faster (in Reno alone) than national averages
⚡️ NV has a Top 50 GDP rivaling New Zealand and Greece
And the proof is already here: @positron_ai hit unicorn status out of Reno in 34 months ($1B+ valuation in Feb 2026). @tensorwave broke Nevada's startup funding record twice in one year out of Las Vegas ($100M Series A). Amperesand raised an $80M Series A and chose Reno for their US manufacturing hub. The success stories are piling up.
Not to mention @gener8tor is now the largest accelerator network in the world with over 450 programs completed across 50 cities. Major network effects for founders.
+ Our program is backed by @US_EDA @DiversifyNevada @unlv @unevadareno @EDAWNReno
I have been based in Reno-Tahoe for almost 4 years watching this come together, and now I'm HYPED to help build it.
We will be running 4 programs annually across Nevada with bases in Reno-Tahoe and Las Vegas, supporting early-stage founders who want to seamlessly plug into the NV energy ecosystem.
If you are working on anything AI or deep tech in energy, lithium, critical minerals, physical AI, batteries, grid infrastructure, nuclear, geothermal, AI data center power, manufacturing, or frontier energy applications, I want to hear from you. DMs open always. Applications opening soon.
🏗️ Let's build!
