If your only customer is "humanity," you don't have a business. And if you're working with a global energy incumbent, you need more than great tech.
On the next SOSV Deep Tech LIVE, we're talking about how industrial systems actually work. This is the practical, behind-the-scenes path from promising science to full-scale deployment.
Dr. Susan Schofer (SOSV HAX) will be joined by Dr. Barbara Burger, widely known as the Godmother of Energy Investing. With a Caltech PhD, a Berkeley MBA, & as a graduate of Chevron (finishing as VP, Innovation & President, Chevron Technology Ventures), Dr. Burger has spent decades acting as an "Industrial Sherpa - a guide who helps breakthrough science survive the realities of industrial scale. She now advises & sits on boards including Bloom Energy, Energy Impact Partners, & Syzygy Plasmonics.
Together, they'll pull apart what it actually takes to graduate from the lab bench to commercial operation:
The Sandbox Protocol: How to Test Tech Inside an Incumbent's Environment Without Breaking the System. Learn real industrial operational constraints, how to prove reliability under these conditions, & how to work inside infrastructure that cannot fail.
The Sherpa Mindset: The Guide You Need (or Need to Become) To Navigate The Corporate World. From translating between startup speed & industrial systems, to understanding system-wide tradeoffs (grid stability, true cost of renewables, regulatory nuance), to staying grounded when valuations race ahead of deployment timelines, learn how to avoid the pitfalls that kill most scale-up attempts.
This conversation is for founders building in energy, VCs evaluating industrial-scale tech, & anyone who wants a clear-eyed view of how real deployment happens.
Date: February 26 Time: 6:00 - 8:00 PM ET
