Sep 2025 – Jun 2026

I co-founded and operated a pre-seed startup unlocking grid-balancing revenues for commercial EV fleets. I raised $30k at a $10M cap across 50+ pitches, secured a Lithuanian independent aggregator license, structured the Delaware C-corp/Lithuanian UAB pairing, and built partnerships with transit and logistics operators, including a 53-vehicle e-bus fleet and a 270-vehicle operator. I modeled market potential across five countries, priced the platform at $30/charger/month, and built an Apollo outbound engine achieving 18% open and 5% reply rates.
