Janta Power is a Dallas-based clean energy startup focused on commercializing vertically stacked, three-dimensional photovoltaic towers. Its patented architecture captures low-angle morning and evening sunlight, creating a dual-peak power curve that more closely matches real-world energy demand. The compact footprint allows the technology to serve space-constrained sites such as data centers, EV-charging hubs, telecom towers, and industrial campuses. Early pilot programs are underway with Munich International Airport, airport operator Aena, and Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport through the Airports for Innovation (A4I) initiative. The company collaborates with enterprises and airports to speed adoption of high-efficiency renewable systems. Proceeds from its recent seed financing will fund product scale-up, commercialization, and additional deployments across multiple commercial and industrial segments.

SparkCharge, founded in 2018 by CEO Joshua Aviv, offers charging-as-a-service that lets fleets buy electricity per kilowatt-hour while SparkCharge delivers and operates charging (including off-grid mobile chargers). The company pivoted from consumer-focused mobile EV charging and previously partnered with AllState to assist stranded EV drivers. Its service includes drop-off equipment or “white glove” full-service charging and can transition customers to permanent depot infrastructure as operations grow. SparkCharge has expanded its operations across all 50 U.S. states, Canada, and Mexico, and says 95% of customers use its off-grid chargers. The startup deploys battery- or generator-powered mobile chargers that can run on propane, natural gas, or hydrogen, and targets high-volume fleet sites such as ports, railheads, and manufacturers. Typical pricing cited is roughly $0.35–$0.60 per kilowatt-hour, and the company emphasizes avoiding grid interconnection delays and construction costs for customers. SparkCharge operates an on-demand EV charging delivery service that uses stackable Roadie portable EV batteries to provide Level 3 DC fast charging. Each Roadie battery provides 3.5 Kwh usable energy, stackable batteries can deliver up to 72 miles of range, and the system is compatible with Tesla, CSS, and CHAdeMo. Customers request charges via the Currently app to have their vehicles charged wherever and whenever they want. The service launched in four cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, and Dallas) and is now expanding into 12 additional California cities, including Huntington Beach, Irvine, Oakland, and others. SparkCharge reports it has already provided over 250,000 miles of range and says it is on track to provide millions this year. The company plans to scale into larger and underserved markets using new funding to expand its Currently app footprint. SparkCharge is a Somerville, Mass.-based mobile electric vehicle charging network led by CEO and founder Josh Aviv. The company makes the Roadie Charging System, a portable, modular solution that enables DC fast charging anywhere regardless of infrastructure, and operates the Currently app for on-demand EV power delivery. Currently has been launched in four cities and has delivered over 100,000 miles of range to EV owners; the app is on track to deliver millions of miles this year and to prevent over 85 tons of CO2 pollution. Since early 2022 the company has secured partnerships and programs with global brands including Kia Motors, Hertz, and Uber that leverage its mobile charging technology. SparkCharge plans to deploy more solutions through the Currently app and to expand into over 20 additional markets. The company intends to use the new funds to expand market presence and develop new mobile charging products. SparkCharge has developed the Roadie, a 120 kW portable fast charger that can be delivered on demand through a network of partners. The Roadie lets customers request between roughly 50 and 100 miles of charge via an app, with on‑demand charges costing about $0.50 per mile and minimum top‑ups around $10. SparkCharge distributes the units through partners (for example Spiffy) and has a partnership with AllState, which has ordered roughly 20 portable chargers and will deploy the service in four cities. The company envisions independent workers running on‑demand charging as a gig‑economy business and offers equipment access for about $450 per month to enable that model. SparkCharge is based in Somerville, Massachusetts, and founder Joshua Aviv began working on the business while a student at Syracuse University. The company is bringing the Roadie to market alongside a platform for distribution and a network of service providers.

Culina Health, founded in 2020 by dietitians Vanessa Rissetto and Tamar Samuels, provides virtual access to registered dietitians for chronic disease prevention, wellness, and weight-loss counseling using its Culina Health Method.

With the new funding it plans to expand and enhance its nutrition counseling, implement AI platforms to improve care efficiency and reduce clinician burden, and strengthen its leadership team with key hires.

The platform positions registered dietitians at the center of preventive and chronic-care nutrition, targeting broad demand for clinical nutrition services.

BoxedUp offers the BoxedUp Storefront, a licensed platform that lets equipment rental companies manage inventory, invoices, orders, and delivery logistics in one place. The startup targets legacy rental industries such as portable storage, dumpster, and welding and positions itself as a "Shopify for rentals" addressing the $300 billion B2B equipment rental market. BoxedUp was founded and is headquartered in Seattle and was built by a leadership team of former Amazon employees including CEO Donald Boone, VP of Sales Biagio Sarich, and CTO Robison Santos. The company employs eight people and plans to add two full-time employees in the third quarter. CEO Donald Boone relocated to Atlanta to continue scaling the business. Financially, BoxedUp raised a $2.85 million seed round after previously raising $2.3 million in a pre-seed in March 2022. BoxedUp operates a marketplace that aggregates listings from individual owners, local rental shops and manufacturers to make high-end video equipment accessible to creators. The company began as a rental business providing camera kits for video conferences and virtual events and landed early customers including Blavity, NPR, Amazon and Google. It initially stocked equipment and worked with manufacturers on open-box items, but has since shifted to a platform model that empowers mom-and-pop rental shops and individual owner-operators. BoxedUp focuses on the long tail of small and mid-size creators who currently rely on ad-hoc email and social media rental workflows. The company recently closed a $2.3 million funding round and plans to use the investment to upgrade fulfillment capabilities, enable same-day delivery in key markets, and expand engineering and operations headcount. For now the marketplace concentrates on the U.S. market while building out those fulfillment and operational capabilities.
