Close of Business Tuesday 6-16-20

Today we had the pleasure of speaking with two Energy Technology stars: Emily Reichert, CEO of Greentown Labs, and Brad Burke, Managing Director of the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship. Greentown Labs has just announced that they are expanding to Houston and we couldn't be more excited for them to join in the effort to make Houston the capital of the new energy world. Headquartered outside Boston, Greentown Labs coming here is an exciting leap forward for the city. Emily was most kind to join us on GL's big day. (Press release available here).Brad and the Rice Alliance team also have the excitement of their startup competition this week. The competition has been going for twenty years, offers the most prize money of any similar competition, and has seen almost 700 startups over these last 20 years. Successful startups coming out of Rice have gone on to raise almost $3 billion in additional capital. Brad did a great job getting us fired up for everything happening "inside the hedges" over on South Main.We also had our expert TPH crew: Mike Bradley, Colin Fenton, and Matt Portillo. The screens were green today and our team offered up some summary commentary on latest sentiment. Lebanese protests, Japanese stimulus, LNG cargos, Chinese-Indian skirmishes, Beijing schools and promising COVID treatment news were all in there.
