Our Journey with Google for Startups

At Blokz, we are committed to making a significant impact in the fight against climate change. Our mission to harness the power of innovative technology to create sustainable solutions received a tremendous boost when we were accepted into the Google for Startups Accelerator for Climate Change. This journey has been nothing short of transformative, and we're excited to share the incredible experiences and insights we've gained along the way.

Comprehensive Support Through 360-Degree Coaching

Participating in the Google for Startups Accelerator has provided us with unparalleled guidance and support. As our co-founder, Mohamed Hassan, eloquently puts it, “The program gave us 360-degree coaching on all aspects from tech, to product, and business. With the tailored technical support and mentoring, I really felt that we had somebody who would take us from A to anywhere we want to go to.” This holistic approach empowered us to refine our technology, strengthen our business strategies, and scale our impact.

Tailored Technical Support and Mentorship

One of the standout features of the accelerator was the bespoke technical support we received. Google's experts worked closely with our team, addressing our unique challenges and helping us leverage cutting-edge AI technologies. This personalized mentorship was pivotal in optimizing our solutions and ensuring that they align with the highest industry standards.

Our mentors provided critical insights that helped us navigate complex technical landscapes and innovate more effectively. The result? Enhanced products that are ready to tackle climate challenges head-on.

Building a Network of Innovators

The Google for Startups Accelerator also allowed us to connect with a vibrant community of like-minded startups. This network has been invaluable, providing opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and mutual support. We've engaged with founders and teams who are equally passionate about using technology for good, and these interactions have sparked new ideas and inspired us to push the boundaries of what's possible.

Realizing the Impact

Our participation in the accelerator has already shown tangible results. We've enhanced our technological capabilities, expanded our market reach, and solidified our position as leaders in climate tech innovation. The journey has been marked by key milestones, including major product developments and successful implementations that have made a real-world impact.

One of our key innovations is enabling 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) Matching for corporates and energy retailers. Using time-based Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), our solution ensures Hourly Carbon-Free Energy Matching. This capability allows our clients to align their energy consumption with carbon-free energy sources around the clock, achieving 24/7 CFE Matching.

Our product has shown remarkable success in pilot projects. For instance, a leading energy retailer utilized our 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Matching system to offer services to corporates to transition to a more sustainable energy footprint. This breakthrough not only enhances their environmental credibility but also sets new standards for energy efficiency and sustainability in the industry..

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, we are more motivated than ever to continue our mission. The insights and resources gained from the Google for Startups Accelerator will undoubtedly be instrumental in our ongoing efforts to drive innovation and sustainability.
