6/ DominateFund portfolio company .@Ubeam is in NYT today with new announcements!!! http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014...
5/ We are VERY proud of Meredith and the Ubeam team, and we are excited to continue the journey as investors and friends.
4/ The latest prototype is working. @Mazy, @MattPRD and I are honored to have since become investors in Ubeam via the @Dominatefund.
3/ Ubeam seemed like sci-fi, and indeed people said it couldn't be done. Two years later, Meredith and Ubeam are proving the critics wrong.
2/ I was even more blown away, though, with her startup @uBeam, which delivers electricity over distance. Yes, you read that right.
1/ Two years ago, I met @MeredithPerry — founder of @Ubeam — and was blown away by her personality and sharp wit.
