YPE SF Bay Area is hosting a winter party to celebrate the holidays and energy innovation.

Join us for a conversation with KoBold Metals CEO Kurt House on the critical minerals enabling the energy transition. KoBold Metals' AI is accelerating our clean energy future by finding new deposits of lithium, cobalt, copper and nickel. With over 60 projects across four continents, KoBold Metals is leading the largest exploration R&D effort to advance the frontier of exploration technology with AI and novel hardware.

In addition, we'll hear from DOE Boost, a partnership led by Sandia National Laboratories and funded by Department of Energy's Technology Commercialization Fund administered by the Office of Technology Transitions. Their program enables the brightest minds seeking to launch energy tech companies. Hear about the current cohort of innovators tackling the Nation’s most pressing energy challenges and how you can get involved. More information at boostplatform.org

After the talk, stick around for a glittery and fancy holiday party with dinner, drinks, and holiday activities to spark a conversation with our speakers, guests, YPE, and Fifty Years community. Wear your finest ugly sweater or sparkles for this special YPE holiday event.

If you're feeling artsy, join the energy ornament painting worshop led by Liz Finnegan, EV Service Diagnostics PMO at Rivian.

This event is hosted by Fifty Years, a VC firm based in San Francisco, backing founders using technology to solve the world's biggest problems.
