SOFII gave us the necessary funding to turn our pilot into an approved project with one of the largest utility clients in the world. Without SOFII funding, it would have been difficult reaching the milestones needed to win. VCs did not want to fund this gap, and SOFII believed in us and gave us the resources and tools to convince our client. CFEO was very professional, super helpful and responsive. All the panel members were veterans who understood the opportunities and challenges and ask critical questions to understand our business.
