Piloting the Future: How to scale with simplicity, ft. It’s Electric & Leading Cities
03 Jul 2025
The first step to creating widespread change in energy? Know the problem you need to solve. For Tiya Gordon, cofounder & COO of It's Electric, that problem was this: More people would get EVs if they were easier to charge in big cities. So? She got to work creating a solution in the first curbside EV charging system built for metro areas. This week on Piloting the Future, Tiya and Mike Lake, President & CEO of Leading Cities, join Kim and Lee to share the nitty gritty on building their partnership and the first behind-the-meter public curbside charger solution. The episode is packed with insights on building ideas into startups and startups into scalable businesses. Tiya explains how It’s Electric avoided the logjams of direct utility connection for charging infrastructure. Mike explains how he evaluates startups for investment and backing, from innovation to leadership. And Kim and Lee lead us through tons more. This conversation is loaded with real-world insights into the process of creating change, one city and one idea at a time.
