their fastest growing and most profitable project solutions
groups, resulting in a multimillion dollar organization.

firsthand what it takes to start a
company, build its foundations, and grow it for the long
run. Matt brings with him an immense network of
connections, deep experience in building an organization,
and highly relevant insight.” Apostolakis

and as an investor.”
Intelagrid is the
emerging leader in broadband standards-based smart grid and
smart home products. Intelagrid enables utilities to deploy
a scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure for advanced
metering and real time monitoring that will scale as the
needs of the smart grid grow over time. Intelagrid's
software suite allows utilities and their customers
(residential and commercial/industrial) to manage and
monitor all aspects of the system through a unified
portal/web/smartphone environment. The software
supports all major web browsers, iPhone, iPad, Android,
Blackberry, iGoogle, and any smartphone. By deploying a
broadband shared network infrastructure, utilities can
implement multiple services including advanced metering,
distribution automation, demand response, smart home and
other applications at a fraction of comparable costs.
Building an intelligent smart grid lowers capital costs and
provides a future proof network that will save energy and
operating costs. When planning the intelligent smart grid of
tomorrow, partner with a company that makes it available
today. About Intelagrid
