Mazama Energy
Mazama Energy is a Frisco, Texas geothermal developer building Enhanced Geothermal Systems that tap superhot rock (SHR) - underground formations above 374 C - to deliver low-cost, round-the-clock, carbon-free electricity. Incubated by Khosla Ventures and backed by Gates Frontier, the company reached a world-record 629 F (331 C) bottomhole temperature at its Newberry Volcano pilot in Oregon and aims to produce power at under 5 cents per kWh, with 10x the power density, 75% less water, and 80% fewer wells than conventional geothermal.
Anode Technology Company
Anode Technology Company is a San Francisco startup building AI-orchestrated, battery-native mobile microgrids that deliver clean, quiet, on-demand power as an alternative to diesel generators and fuel-delivery rentals. Founded in 2024 by Paul Huelskamp and Eric Hanson - veterans of failed battery startup Moxion Power - Anode pairs purpose-built hardware (its mobile battery energy storage system, or mBESS) with proprietary software and AI services to serve EV fleet charging, construction sites, data centers, and live events. The company emerged from stealth in September 2025 with a $9M seed round led by Eclipse.
