Founded in 2017 in Sydney, Hawke's Brewing produces a range of craft beers that leverage the likeness and legacy of former Prime Minister Bob Hawke. The partnership with Hawke directs brand royalties to environmental nonprofit Landcare Australia, giving the label a strong social-impact angle. Since launch, the brewery has grown its presence in the Australian craft beer market and now seeks to accelerate brand awareness and distribution. To support this growth, the company has tapped non-traditional funding models that pair capital with high-value media exposure. The latest initiative is a media-for-equity transaction that will supply discounted advertising inventory across major Australian outlets. Access to this advertising is expected to boost consumer reach and drive sales without immediate cash outlays for marketing. No revenue, production, or user metrics were disclosed in the article.

Enteligent develops solar-powered DC-to-DC bidirectional EV chargers and NMax photovoltaic module-level power optimizers that increase rooftop solar yield and enable direct daytime charging from on-site solar. Its product lineup includes a long-dwell-time 25 kW DC-to-DC fleet charger supplied to a large logistics company and the pre-sale TLCEV T1 EVSE that delivers up to 12.5 kW of DC charging from solar. The company says its DC-coupled chargers avoid AC conversion losses, yielding up to 20% energy savings and recouping as much as 25% of electricity otherwise lost by traditional methods. Enteligent’s NMax MLPE provides rapid shutdown capabilities and panel-level performance data over PLC, producing an average 10% higher electricity yield on typical rooftop installations. The firm plans to use the new capital to scale commercialization of its PV optimizers and DC-to-DC charging platforms. Enteligent was selected for Taronga Ventures’ RealTechX ESG Impact program in 2023 as part of its go-to-market and ESG refinement activities. Enteligent develops solar power optimization and solar electric vehicle (EV) charging technologies, including a proprietary solar optimization platform and a DC-to-DC solar hybrid bi-directional EV charger. Its NMax photovoltaic module power optimizers use smart digital technology to dynamically adjust optimization and provide panel-level monitoring data, increasing rooftop yield, energy harvesting, and system reliability. The company's bidirectional DC solar EV chargers take DC electricity directly from solar, eliminating DC→AC→DC conversions and recouping up to 25% of electricity lost by traditional means. Products are positioned for residential, commercial, and industrial customers to maximize renewable energy output and enable daytime EV charging. Enteligent is led by founder and CEO Sean Burke and is based in Morgan Hill, California. The company raised $7 million in capital to fast-track commercialization of its technologies.
