First of a Kind (FOAK) Projects Focus

Join us for our July lunch event, where we're putting the spotlight on First of a Kind (FOAK) projects! Inspired by the recent FOAK Roundtable hosted by Deanna Zhang (check it out here), we're diving deep into the world of innovative initiatives.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or just dipping your toes into the realm of groundbreaking projects, this lunch is for you. FOAK projects are where creativity meets action, where bold ideas come to life. By attending, you'll gain insights into:

  • The latest trends in FOAK projects
  • Strategies for navigating the challenges of pioneering endeavors
  • Opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals pushing the boundaries in their respective fields

Don't miss this opportunity to expand your horizons and be part of the conversation driving innovation forward. Reserve your spot today and join us for a delicious meal and stimulating discussions!

What is the Energy Underground?

The Energy Underground is a group of professionals in the Greater Houston area that are accelerating the Energy Transition. This is not a place where you're going to sit through an hour panel on why we should work on the Energy Transition. No one in this room is wringing their hands worried about what needs to be done, they already have their sleeves rolled up and are doing the work.

We come together so we can learn and support each other's work in advancing the Energy Transition. We help each other make industry contacts, secure financing, share deals, recommend talent looking to enter the energy workforce, and anything else that leads to bigger, better energy companies.

Always end each conversation with the question: How can I help you?

Who Attends?

  • Renewable Energy Project Developers
  • Renewable Energy Service Providers
  • Energy Transition Leaders from Oil & Gas Companies
  • Financiers (Venture, Private Equity, Investment Banking)
  • Cleantech Startup Founders & Executives
  • Energy Transition Startup Accelerator Leaders
  • Academic Thought Leaders (mostly from Rice University)
  • Students and job seekers looking to break into the Energy Transition

The Three Rules of Energy Underground

  1. Climate Change is Real
  2. Oil & Gas isn't Evil
  3. No bad behavior

Frequently asked questions

Where do I park?

Turn in from Brittmoore Road. Plenty of parking surrounding the building. We're in the first floor event space by the lobby desk.

How should I prepare?

Bring business cards. Be able to provide a less than 1minute elevator pitch of yourself and what you're working on. Have a solid ask that people can actually help you with. Ask for a specific introduction to someone or group.

Can I bring a friend?

Absolutely! Just get them a ticket so we don't come up short on food.
