    At UtilityAPI, we're building the universal API for energy data. We get data out of utilities and into the hands of companies that can use it, such as solar (like SolarCity), energy storage (like Tesla), and energy management companies (Fitbit for energy use). We have paying customer and excellent growth. Access to utility data means a larger sales funnel, a frictionless customer journey, and easy data verification for financing for new energy technologies. We are making money and conveniently saving the planet at the same time (addressing climate change). Our desks are solar panels.

    Co-founders Elena and Daniel started the company because they saw the data problem first hand in the solar industry. Elena has expertise in the energy industry and extensive contacts which she has leveraged for business development. Daniel is a chemical engineer by training, has a patent in sulphur testing, and was CTO of Fitocracy, a 500 startups company. Most recently, he was at a solar company putting solar panels on schools. Both are active in the energy and tech communities.

    Like telecom before, electric utilities are changing rapidly. Telecom went from copper wires and corded phones in 30 years, now electric companies are going from one coal plant in the middle of nowhere, with transmission lines, to a distributed grid with solar panels on top of buildings.

    We're solving tough challenges and need team members who are ready to take problems head on.
