Ryan Barr is the cofounder of RePurpose Energy, a Sacramento area cleantech startup. RePurpose Energy reuses electric vehicle batteries to store solar energy. By offering low-cost energy storage and reducing battery waste, it aims to enable the transition to renewable energy and electric vehicles.
Ryan walked away with second place at StartupSac’s Warm-Up Pitch competition in June. I sat down with Ryan to learn more about the origins of his startup, what he’s learned along the way, and what’s next for RePurpose Energy. Take a listen.
