Shifted Energy was formed in 2016 to focus on the integration of renewables through equitable transformation. We’ve developed, tested and perfected our patent pending solutions to help utilities throughout the world stabilize their grids while accelerating the integration of intermittent wind and solar power generation. Crucially, our platform engages hard-to-reach communities who can’t access rooftop solar by targeting renters. Shifted Energy provides the link between disparate populations, so we can all work together to build a sustainable future.
Shifted Energy supports utilities and consumers through the deployment of low-cost distributed energy resource control systems and monitoring, machine learning-based data analytics, aggregation, and dispatch optimization software.
Shifted Energy’s software platform converts fleets of electric water heaters, pool pumps, home batteries, solar inverters, and EV charging stations into smart, flexible distributed energy resources capable of providing multiple grid services without sacrificing customer comfort. Our technology is used to retrofit behind-the-meter assets enabling cost-effective, large-scale deployment that improves the end-user experience and reduces program maintenance and support requirements. Our software is integrated with any cloud-connected smart device and uses machine learning to forecast and maximize grid service capacity from every participating asset while minimizing impacts to participating families’ typical use of the managed appliance. Individual forecasts are then aggregated and optimized as a fleet in a cloud-based, asset-agnostic virtual power plant.

About
The American Entrepreneurship Award (AEA) and Hellenic Entrepreneurship Award (HEA) have joined forces and serve as the foundation of Envolve, an organization that strives for a global society where all business owners can prosper and grow.
Company Overview
Envolve offers 360° support through access to resources and education, as well as support, through its Envolve Award programs.
Envolve Awards offers interest-free funding, mentorship and business support services to experienced or first time entrepreneurs based in the USA & Greece.
We are committed to cultivating a global entrepreneurial ecosystem – helping diverse communities access resources, which will help them pursue their business dreams, with the provision of educational material and a step-by-step guide to build a business plan.
Story
The award program, formerly known as the Hellenic Entrepreneurship Award, was founded in Greece by the Libra Group, on behalf of The Hellenic Initiative in 2012. It was founded out of a belief that entrepreneurship should be accessible to all – whether within a thriving economy or during a recession. Motivated by faith in Greece’s intrinsic creativity, grit and determination, the initiative aimed to inspire and champion established and new entrepreneurs.
In 2015, after a track record of success operating the HEA initiative, the Libra Group sponsored the American Entrepreneurship Award (AEA) in Miami-Dade County in Florida and the Bronx in New York City. The essence of President Barack Obama’s “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative encouraged leaders and organizations to address opportunity gaps in under-served communities.
In 2018, the HEA and the AEA provided the foundation for Envolve.
Envolve will continue this commitment to serve, develop and cultivate individual entrepreneurs with a special focus on under-served communities.

Bloomlife is an award winning women’s health company solving the most significant yet underserved global challenges today in maternal health. We are redefining the way prenatal care is delivered by combining connected devices with cloud based data analytics to improve access to care, empower women, and provide clinicians with information to more effectively screen and manage pregnancy complications. Our goal is to become the leading provider of remote care for expectant women globally.
Bloomlife’s approach to managing high risk pregnancies allows obstetricians to more easily screen maternal and fetal risk, educate the patient, and quickly access high risk specialists regardless of a patient’s geography. Our solution represents a marked shift from the way high risk pregnancies have been historically assessed using frequent in person appointments, paper logs, and long referral times.

Motley Fool Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund powered by The Motley Fools brand, investing approach, and communities. We combine the best of both worlds: Like a traditional venture capital fund, we have outside limited partners, prioritize investor returns, and make decisions independently. However, like a corporate VC, we have the backing of a successful operating company with access to resources that most VCs can only dream of.
