About the Company


Our client is an electrolyzer stack manufacturing company funded by Breakthrough Energy, The Engine Ventures, and other top investment firms.

Paired with advanced manufacturing techniques borrowed from adjacent high-tech industries, our client can lower the cost of manufacturing electrolyzer stacks by an order of magnitude. This company is led by multiple renowned industry executives, and it has locations in Santa Clara, CA, (HQ) and Lowell, MA (mfg.)
