MeterHero

MeterHero makes it easy to track and share water and energy data, then pays you cash for conserving.

Overview - MeterHero is providing a scalable, market-based solution for water and energy conservation. Homeowners earn cash rebates each month for their conservation. Rebate sponsors - businesses, organizations, and individuals - earn recognition and meet their sustainability goals by offsetting their water and energy footprints. Opportunity - At least $50 billion is spent on water and energy efficiency programs each year. These programs are highly illiquid and constrained by utility funding mechanisms. MeterHero creates private rewards for funding and participating in energy and water efficiency efforts. We expect to grow the size of the water and energy conservation market by 10x through facilitating non-utility investment into efficiency and conservation. About - MeterHero was founded by McGee Young, who holds a PhD in political science from Syracuse University and received tenure at Marquette University before leaving to start MeterHero. It was named a finalist in the Clean Energy Challenge in 2014 and won a spot in the charter class of the seed accelerator program of the Milwaukee Water Council. Headquarters are now in Oakland, CA.
