Danny Cotter brings rare inside-the-utility experience from his time at Pacific Gas & Electric, where he evaluated technology pilots and co-led the build-out of an advanced analytics platform for multi-billion-dollar grid investment plans, which he now applies when backing grid, electrification, and energy-transition software companies. His career path runs from utility operator to climate VC to sustainability-focused multi-sector VC, giving him an unusually continuous view of how policy, utilities, startups, and later-stage markets fit together across the energy innovation stack.
