Two DOE BTO-sponsored events coming to the Bay Area this week. As part of a recent collaboration opened with the SunShot Catalyst program, BTO is holding a series of Catalyst Jamathon events around the country. The Jamathons are in-person events where entrepreneurs, developers, working professionals, students, and mentors work towards crafting video pitches for software product/startup ideas that address key problems in the area of building operations.

This week's Jamathons are both in the Bay Area:
* Wednesday, August 5: Microsoft Silicon Valley Campus (Mountain View)
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM PDT

* Thursday, August 6: SfunCube (Oakland)

5:00 PM - 8:30 PM PDT

If you are interested and available to attend either of these Jamathons, we would love to have you there. In any case, we would greatly appreciate it if you could spread the word about these events to your contacts in the area.

If you have any questions about the Jamathons or the BTO-Catalyst program more generally, please contact Jared Langevin (jared.langevin at ee.doe.gov), the BTO-Catalyst Lead.
