Modo Energy
Modo Energy is a London-based data and analytics platform that helps investors, developers, lenders and traders value and finance battery storage and other electrification assets. It provides regulated benchmarks, transparent revenue forecasts, expert market research and an AI analyst, turning complex power-market data into investment-grade decisions across markets in Great Britain, Europe, the United States and Australia.
Quentin Scrimshire
Quentin 'Q' Scrimshire is the co-founder and CEO of Modo Energy, a London-based B2B SaaS platform that benchmarks and forecasts the performance of grid-scale battery energy storage assets. A Manchester-trained electrical engineer who cut his teeth on offshore wind and gas-fired plants at Centrica before running Kiwi Power's European storage business, he now leads a roughly 80-person team building what he describes as the 'benchmarking and valuation operating system for global electrification.' In December 2025 Modo closed a $33M Series B led by Molten Ventures.
AGent Energy
AGent Energy (branded AiGent) is a Houston-based energy-tech company that uses AI software and secure hardware to aggregate, orchestrate, and monetize idle backup generators at commercial, industrial, and mission-critical sites. By connecting these behind-the-meter assets to wholesale power markets during peak demand and grid emergencies, AGent turns standby liabilities into dispatchable, revenue-generating distributed power plants - improving grid reliability without building new infrastructure. The company is targeting a roughly 185 GW fleet of existing backup generation across the U.S.
Rob Cirincione
Rob Cirincione is the co-founder and CEO of Sunairio, a Baltimore-based weather intelligence company that helps energy traders, utilities, and grid planners price the risk hiding inside the weather. A Princeton-trained engineer with a master's from MIT, he spent over 12 years trading power at Constellation Energy and Boston Energy Trading & Marketing before deciding the off-the-shelf weather forecasts the whole industry relied on were dangerously blurry. Sunairio runs thousands of high-resolution simulations to catch the rare extreme hours that drive most grid risk, and in 2025 launched ONE, a next-generation grid forecast model trained on its proprietary high-resolution climate archive.
Stephanie Hendricks
Stephanie Hendricks is the co-founder and CEO of AGent Energy (formerly AiGent), a Houston-based energy technology company that uses AI to turn idle backup generators into dispatchable grid resources. A former Naval Warfare Intelligence officer with top-secret clearance and the ex-COO of demand-response leader Voltus, she is building software that aggregates and monetizes the roughly 185 GW of underutilized backup generation sitting across American commercial, industrial, and data-center sites. In August 2025 the company raised a $6M seed round led by Zero Infinity Partners and CIV.
ElectronX
ElectronX is a U.S.-regulated electricity derivatives exchange building the financial infrastructure for the energy transition. Founded in 2024 and based in Chicago with a New York office, it offers direct-access, centrally cleared hourly power futures and binary options that let utilities, traders, renewable operators, energy-storage firms and data-center operators hedge the extreme short-term price swings that come with a grid increasingly powered by intermittent wind and solar. ElectronX holds CFTC approvals as both a Designated Contract Market and a Designated Clearing Organization, and has raised more than $55 million from investors including DCVC, Innovation Endeavors, and the venture arms of Shell and Equinor.
SYSO Technologies
SYSO Technologies is a Boston-based market operations partner for renewable energy and battery storage assets. The company acts as the market operator for solar, wind, and energy storage projects, handling registration, forecasting, bidding, scheduling, real-time dispatch, and settlement across every major North American ISO/RTO market. Its cloud-based, AI-enabled Energy Management Platform turns passive renewable generators into active market participants, and by 2026 SYSO managed more than 4.5 GW across 300+ sites.
Sam Tegel
Sam Tegel is the CEO of ElectronX, the Chicago-based exchange that in 2026 launched the first U.S.-regulated, direct-access power derivatives market. After more than two decades building market-making and liquidity businesses at firms like Jump Trading, Millennium, Sun Trading and Caherciveen Partners, Tegel now sells 1-megawatt-hour electricity futures and binary options to anyone exposed to the wild swings of the modern grid - from battery operators to bitcoin miners. ElectronX has raised more than $55 million and holds both Designated Contract Market and Designated Clearing Organization status from the CFTC.
