Tristan Pollock is the Managing Director of the Electrify Nevada Accelerator at gener8tor, a national accelerator program backing early-stage energy, battery, critical minerals, and AI infrastructure companies in Nevada.

He's also Founding Partner of Cool Climate Collective and co-founded two companies, SocialEarth and Storefront. Over 15 years in startups and venture, he's been a founder, investor, and ecosystem builder.

Nevada is his current focus, and he'd argue it's the most interesting energy economy in the country right now. The only U.S. state active across all seven stages of the lithium loop. Home to the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, Redwood Materials, and a growing bet from OpenAI. Most people haven't caught up yet.
