Last week our team had the opportunity to make meaningful connections and share our story on stage at two stellar events: ?? At the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce's Energy Summit, Eliza Tobin and Charlotte Meerstadt spoke to NYC decision makers, utility providers, founders, landlords and business owners. Charlotte Meerstadt was part of a panel moderated by Jeannette Williams on "Innovations in Energy Technology and Startups in NYC", discussing her favourite NY policies, the importance of community and building a company in the Big Apple. ???????? Margaret Coblentz and Dawn Dobras at Capital F organised a NYC get-together for female founders and funders with Charlotte Meerstadt on the panel. She shared her thoughts on audacious goals for Fram Energy, how to choose your investors and getting started building your company. Meanwhile, (Sarah) Beckham H. hooked up half of the attendees with new apartments through her real estate network. We're excited to follow up on all of the great conversations we had!

?????? Next week on June 20th, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is hosting their Energy Summit and Expo in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Every year, this popular event brings together experts in renewable energy, workforce development, energy infrastructure, and energy policy. Get your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/eVNtZrMX Our CEO Charlotte Meerstadt will speak in the innovation & startup breakout session, and she'll be in excellent company.
