Over the past month, the team has solidified more key partnerships with energy retailers around the globe. In addition to the votes of confidence we’ve received from potential partners, platform development is progressing substantially, which gives us confidence that our Q3 goals will be achieved in a timely manner.

We’ve also moved forward with our on-boarding efforts and acquired two new team members that we believe to be invaluable to our success. We are proud to announce our latest additions to the team:
