Erik Hersman is a serial entrepreneur and co-founder of several high social impact tech companies (Ushahidi, iHub, Gearbox, BRCK).

In his latest venture (www.gridlesscompute.com), Erik has partnered with Hydrobox on making electricity in rural areas affordable and financially sustainable.

Gridless buys Hydrobox' excess electricity as a buyer of last resort and uses it for sustainable crypto mining. This lowers the cost of electricity for consumers and de-risks the energy project investment.
