Binghamton students had an opportunity to hear pitches from seven battery startups, in a first-time collaboration between the nation’s premier battery-focused accelerator program, ChargeUp, and the new student-managed Binghamton Venture Fund.
“For the Venture Fund, we’re looking at investment opportunities in companies that could be built out, especially in the renewable and battery storage space, and companies that probably can provide greater benefit to the United States and the rest of the world,” said Binghamton senior Ashley Reed, who serves as one of the portfolio managers of the group.
