Roger and Scotia Alves started Scosche in a garage with a car-audio how-to book. Four decades later, three generations of the family run the brand that put a magnet between your phone and your dashboard.
E2 Consulting Engineers is a multidisciplinary engineering and technical consulting firm founded in 1988 and headquartered in Emeryville, California. It delivers project management, engineering and design, construction management and inspection, environmental permitting and remediation, and federal support services to investor-owned utilities, government agencies, and infrastructure operators across North America. With more than 800 professionals in 11 U.S. offices, E2 supports grid modernization, wildfire mitigation, pipeline safety, and water infrastructure programs. In June 2026 it was acquired by EIP-backed Guardian Infrastructure Services.
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.
Ferric, Inc. is a New York semiconductor company that builds integrated voltage regulators (IVRs) - complete DC-DC power converters with thin-film magnetic inductors built directly into the chip. By shrinking power conversion down to silicon that can sit inside a processor package, Ferric cuts board space and bill-of-materials while improving energy efficiency, targeting the punishing power demands of AI accelerators, high-performance computing, and hyperscale data centers.
Noah Sturcken is the founder and CEO of Ferric, a New York semiconductor company building the world's smallest, most efficient power converters. A Columbia PhD who turned his dissertation into a company, he pioneered integrated voltage regulators (IVRs) that bury thin-film magnetic inductors inside the chip itself, shrinking power delivery by more than 10x. As AI processors grow ever hungrier for clean, dense power, Ferric's tech sits exactly where the bottleneck is - and partners like Marvell are now building it into custom AI silicon.
