"I had a sense of our beachhead market coming in. BGA helped me professionalize everything around it. They refined the pitch, worked through IP trade secrets, brought in a fractional CTO from their network, and made warm intros to VCs. Some of their LPs are participating in the round too.”

CEO, Expand Power
Solid State Power Electronics - Modernizing the grid.
