We build software to run decarbonized electricity grids. Our platform controls vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries, adjusting their usage in line with the needs of the grid.
We control hundreds of thousands of energy assets across the UK, monetizing the demand flexibility we create in electricity markets. We're growing rapidly, backed by Accel, and looking for data scientists and engineers looking to make a dent in climate change.
I've just moved back to Bristol (grew up here) and delighted to see this on HN.
Since this post is likely to be a good honeypot: can anybody recommend any good tech meetups here? I run an energy tech company and looking to meet like-minded folk

We're building software to adapt electricity usage to the vagaries of renewable energy: using more energy when we have lots of cheap, green electrons and less when the grid is fossil-fuel heavy and costly.
We're B2B, building tooling for companies to optimize EV charging, heat pumps, and batteries.
Electricity prices in the UK (and most other places) are set by the marginal unit, which is the most expensive unit that needs to be turned on to meet demand. All other generation for that time period gets paid the same price. The marginal unit in the UK is usually gas, hence the sensitivity to gas prices
I've been using this for a week since reading this post and I'm enjoying it.
The quick capture is the killer feature for me, although it'd be even better if there was a shortcut which automatically captures context too (e.g. URL, email)- maybe there is and I'm missing it.
Mobile capture is a bit of a nuisance but sure you're aware of this. I think a WhatsApp bot would be the best way to give reliable offline or online capture without an app but I haven't seen anybody executing on that so perhaps there are issues with the idea.
Agree with the other comments about the calendly-lite features being unecessary for me, and add complexity to a fairly busy UI.
I heard that Sweden's high income tax actually incentivised startups, because the only way to get _seriously_ wealthy was through capital gains.
Does anybody know whether that's true?
If so, it really undermines the narrative that is somewhat dominant in Britain, that high income tax will disincentivize entrepreneurship and innovation etc etc
