In this episode of The Gridmatic Podcast, Kise Shannon (VP, Sales & Business Development) sits down with Jackson Vo (President, Gridmatic Retail) to talk about what makes Gridmatic "the power company of the future," how the business has scaled to thousands of customers across ERCOT and PJM in just two years, and why being a low-price provider and being easy to do business with aren't mutually exclusive.
