Powerhouse Circuit - September 2024 - New Dawn is 3.5 Weeks Away
Party People,
We are less than four weeks away from the biggest climate tech party of the year, New Dawn, happening Thursday, October 24th. Less than 50 tickets remain before we are officially sold out. Have you secured your spot yet? This year’s event will feature copious amounts of paella, climate-themed drinks (like Renewab-ALE and Watt It Drinks), excellent music, and some of the brightest (and most fun) members of the climate tech community. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Watt It Takes with Matanya Horowitz , Founder and CEO of AMP
Humans produce 2.3 billion tons of trash per year and as it stands today, society is not capturing the decarbonization potential of recycling. In this month’s episode of Watt It Takes, Matanya Horowitz shares how he built AMP which applies AI-powered sortation at scale to modernize the world’s recycling infrastructure and maximize the value of waste. To put it simply, they sort trash, really well. This episode of Watt It Takes was recorded in front of a wonderful live audience at Powerhouse. You can find my conversation with Matanya on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. Special thanks to this episode’s sponsors Microsoft and JPMorgan Chase Commercial Banking .
Powerhouse Innovation Maps the Fusion Landscape
At Powerhouse Innovation we go deep on complicated climate technologies, developing insight from our startup database and expert advisory network. This month we mapped an exciting, yet not widely understood space – the fusion energy market. The landscape defines the various sub domains within nuclear fusion from magnetic confinement methods to inertial confinement techniques, and includes some hybrid approaches. You can see the full market map with relevant startups here.
