Actual conversations in our house: "It's like the moon landing Joanne, you'll remember where you were..." One small blip on a graph in an app, one giant leap for carbon-free electricity. Let me explain. A thread about how we’ve become part of a virtual power plant. 🧵 🔋

We've found that 52% of companies in our industry database have female founders, compared to the 22-34% typically reported. Is this rise in female founders a #DigitalHealth thing? Or are we observing a changing of the guard in health technology? Tickets: bit.ly/3n7cFmz

Victoria is 💯 the place to be as an innovator: gov commitment (@JaalaPulford), successful founders & innovators wanting to give back (eg. @morris_kate @freshjc), a strong ecosystem of founders supporting each other to scale up (eg. @SeerMedical @PearliiApp) ❤️🎉
