Collide just pulled off a $5M seed raise and yeah, it’s kind of a big deal. We’re talking about a crew that started out making podcasts and is now building AI tools that are shaking up the energy world. From Mercury Ventures to some serious oil and gas backers, the investment is rolling in. We unpack what this means for automation, the inefficiencies AI might finally kill off, and all the juicy stuff, OPEC updates, oil price predictions, tariffs, geopolitics, and where U.S. production could be headed. Oh, and we finally broke in the new studio, so you’ll get a few behind-the-scenes laughs and a glimpse at our most ridiculous announcement video yet.

Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools. Join our online community at collide.io. Engage with experts, level up your career, and ask Collide AI your toughest technical questions.
