OPPORTUNITY

Elemental Impact wanted to equip portfolio companies with practical, actionable policy tools. Startups needed clearer guidance on how policy could accelerate deployment, unlock new markets, and shape their commercialization strategy.

APPROACH

Brightside developed and delivered a series of policy coaching sessions tailored to founders’ needs, including regulatory mapping, public funding pathways, partnership models with cities and utilities, and strategies for piloting emerging technologies in real-world environments. We provided 1:1 advisory support, produced custom policy briefs, and helped founders translate policy opportunities into near-term business moves.
