Uprise Energy won first place at the MIT Twenty Six Ventures Finals in New York.
Out of more than 550 companies that competed across global semi-finals, eight companies advanced to the Finals. We took the top spot, competing against AI security platforms, autonomous drone networks, sleep tech companies partnered with Harvard Medical School, and biomaterial innovators with clinical trials underway.
The competition was exceptional. Every company on that stage had real technology, real traction, and real potential. Being selected as the winner by MIT and the judging panel is an honor we don't take lightly.
But what matters most isn't the trophy—it's what happened around the event.
The FutureMakers Finals brought together marquee VCs, Massachusetts Institute of Technology scholars and alumni, and industry leaders in a single room. The conversations we had, the guidance we received, and the connections we made are already translating into active projects and investment opportunities.
The community showed us the kind of reach their network has. Doors that would take years to open independently are suddenly accessible through alumni relationships and institutional connections. We're eager to continue building on what started in New York.
Our technology replaces in , , and applications—cutting operating costs by $48,000 per unit annually while offsetting 100,000 pounds of CO₂. The technology is proven. The market need is clear.
Now we're focused on scaling, and we're open to conversations with strategic partners, investors, and organizations that recognize the impact this technology can create.
If you're working in spaces where renewable, portable power matters, let's talk.
