- Y-Combinator is Valued at $7.8BUntil SURGE, there wasn’t a collective effort to take ideas from prototype to commercialization in the field of energy and take advantage of the massive changes occurring like cloud computing and big data. We ask for 6% common equity.150 MentorsWe looked at 500 prospects last year to choose our class of 12 – 2.5% admit rate. We’ve graduated 23 companies total.Our program is 3 months long from February to May.We provide $30,000 initial seed funding + option for up to $50,000 convertible note.
- Houston has a world-class ecosystem in the energy space, and there is a strong community of later-stage investors, including VCs, PE firms, and venture arms of corporations. But there has been a lack of an organized effort to support early-stage entrepreneurs. SURGE was founded in Houston to leverage the city’s deep resources.
- Deep Domain Expertise: Scientists, Engineers, Policy Experts, Executives, Entrepreneurs, InvestorsWe give our companies direct access to customers, investors, and mentors.
- SURGE DayNearly 600 attendees, consisting of investors + industry representatives, potential customers + community+SURGE Rush300 meetings scheduled - the largest gathering of energy VCs and industry decisionmakers in one room. 49 industry partner attendees – Statoil, NRG, Reliant, Conoco, Halliburton, BP, Schlumberger, etc. 33 startups were showcased33 representatives from venture capital and investment firms – Andreeson Horowitz, Rockport, Energy Ventures, etc.Feedback from a major venture executive: “What I accomplished at SURGE Rush in one day would have taken my team and me almost 6 months to complete on our own. And the best part was that SURGE connected us with later stage companies that we could do business with today.”
