This week we're talking with Donnel Baird, founder and CEO of BlocPower, a Brooklyn-based company focused on electrification and building efficiency.
Why he matters: BlocPower has particularly focused on lowering energy costs, cutting emissions and reducing health impacts in underserved communities.
The approach has gained traction: The company had raised more than $95 million as of January, per PitchBook, including a $30 million investment from the Microsoft Climate Fund.
