Energy Vault's SOSA Battery Energy Storage System is bringing a $100 million investment to Madison County, Texas, delivering long-term economic value to the region while adding critical energy storage infrastructure to the grid. As the project progresses, Energy Vault has been active in the local community, most recently sponsoring the City of Madisonville's annual 4th of July Celebration as part of our ongoing commitment to the areas where we build and operate. The SOSA BESS will deliver new tax revenue to North Zulch ISD and Madison County, supporting local jobs and strengthening the regional energy infrastructure for the long term. #SOSAEnergyCenter #MadisonCounty #EnergyStorage #BESS #EnergyVault #EnergyInfrastructure

Caroline Paules and Karin Najarian are both young, ambitious and think about the local — and global — housing crisis a lot. At least eight hours each day. Both have been directly affected by the national emergency; Paules more directly as the occupant of the lone house standing on her block after the Eaton Fire in Altadena. As a team of two, they are using different tactics to help solve the problem: Paules as an engineer and Najarian as an architect. They are the CEO and COO, respectively, of Nova Cottage Co., a new affordable housing startup headquartered at tech incubator Idealab Studio in Pasadena. UN-Habitat predicts that by 2030, 40% of the world population (about 3 billion people) will not have access to adequate, safe and affordable housing. . . . https://lnkd.in/gxV-d3Dp

🏡 Nova Cottage Co. isn't waiting around for traditional construction to catch up. Founded by CEO Caroline Paules (mechanical engineer, Caltech) and COO Karin Najarian (architect, Woodbury University) as well as Bill Gross of Idealab, the team estimates they can build a home in a fifth of the time and a fifth of the cost of traditional construction. The first Cozy Cottage breaks ground this summer in Altadena, replacing a garage lost to the Eaton Fire. This isn't just innovative engineering, it is a team that has lived the housing crisis and is building the solution from the ground up.

Most people don't have a productivity problem. They have a prioritization problem. Every day, new tasks, emails, notifications, meeting notes, and ideas enter your system. The result? A longer to-do list. Most productivity advice focuses on organizing that list better. Color-code it. Categorize it. Automate it. But here's the uncomfortable truth: A perfectly organized list can still leave you overwhelmed. Because organization answers: "What do I have to do?" Prioritization answers: "What actually matters right now?" The professionals who seem calm under pressure aren't necessarily more organized. They're better at deciding what deserves their attention. And in a world where information arrives faster than ever, that's becoming the most valuable skill in knowledge work. What's the last thing you decided NOT to do? This is what we're building Mosaic for. Join the waitlist (below) to get early access. https://www.mosaic.it/

Webinar Wednesday: See AI Run Directly on Enterprise Data — Without Moving a Single File 👇https://hubs.li/Q04mng8Y0 Every enterprise AI platform seems to start with the same requirement: collect, copy, move, and centralize your data before AI can analyze it. That approach creates security risks, increases costs, introduces latency, and leaves organizations managing yet another copy of sensitive information. Tomorrow, we're demonstrating a different approach. Join us for a live 30-minute tour of X1 Enterprise AI In-Place and see how organizations can: ✔ Run AI directly across Microsoft 365, endpoints, file shares, and cloud repositories ✔ Perform AI-powered analysis before collection ✔ Keep sensitive data in place and under existing security controls ✔ Eliminate the costs and complexity of data movement 📅 June 24, 2026 ⏰ 11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET Reserve your spot today. https://hubs.li/Q04mng8Y0 #ArtificialIntelligence #EnterpriseAI #eDiscovery #InformationGovernance #Compliance #Microsoft365 #DataGovernance #LegalTech #Cybersecurity
