In this episode, we sit down with Angelina Bintoudi, an electrical engineer and the co-founder of Optimems, a company helping scale microgrids.

During this episode Angelina shares:

• ⚡ The importance of Microgrids (and how they can be used in space) 
• 🌐 Why decentralization is a vital step towards decarbonization 
• 🚀 What’s it’s like building and scaling a startup in Europe, from securing first sales to scaling across locations

And some “unpopular opinions” of Angelina that we loved:

• Make sure you have fun in your student years. Don’t stress too much about your exams, leave room for memories.
• Don’t be afraid to go into business with your people: friends, partners, family, whoever they may be.
• AI is just another tool; it’s important as ever to be able to understand the science behind a given solution yourself rather than trust tech blindly
