Update: 2025-09-01
Description
In this episode, we sit down with Angelina Bintoudi, an electrical engineer and the co-founder of Optimems, a company helping scale microgrids.
During this episode Angelina shares:
- ⚡ The importance of Microgrids (and how they can be used in space)
- 🌐 Why decentralization is a vital step towards decarbonization
- 🚀 What’s it’s like building and scaling a startup in Europe, from securing first sales to scaling across locations
And some “unpopular opinions” of Angelina that we loved:
- Make sure you have fun in your student years. Don’t stress too much about your exams, leave room for memories.
- Don’t be afraid to go into business with your people: friends, partners, family, whoever they may be.
- AI is just another tool; it’s important as ever to be able to understand the science behind a given solution yourself rather than trust tech blindly
