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.
Paul Huelskamp is the co-founder and CEO of Anode Technology Company, a San Francisco startup building AI-orchestrated mobile microgrids and battery energy storage systems that deliver grid-independent electricity to EV depots, data centers, construction sites, and live events. A renewable-energy financier turned hardware founder, he previously built and ran Moxion Power, which raised more than $110 million to replace diesel generators before it went bankrupt in 2024. In 2025 he returned with a leaner, software-first venture and $9 million in seed funding from Eclipse Ventures, determined to 'finish what we started.'
