00:00The EV space is so hot right now, like Hansel and Zoolander.
00:03I'm Rourke, co-founder of Leighton.
00:05Today, 85% of electric vehicles' battery capacity goes unused.
00:08That capacity and service to the energy grid is worth over $6,000 a year.
00:12Prior to my time at Harvard Business School,
00:13my co-founder and I were in the automotive industry working on this technology,
00:16but we saw the industry wasn't solving an end-to-end solution for customers.
00:18That's where Leighton comes in.
00:20Leighton provides the in-home hardware and software
00:21to connect you as an EV owner with 1,400 utilities across the country,
00:24enabling you to monetize this excess capacity in your EV's battery
00:27while also providing the in-built benefit of four days' worth of home backup power.
00:30We're finalizing our raise now. We'd love to have you join.
00:32Rourke seems like the real deal.
00:34You know, when in doubt, always tell people you went to Harvard Business School.
00:38That never, never hurts, and I'm being serious.
00:40Rourke seems to have been able to create a niche.
00:44Sometimes people say niches get rich.
00:47Sometimes niches get stitches.
00:49I'm definitely interested enough to hear more about the product,
00:51but I also think he should have some sort of visual.
00:53This is a product, which means we need to see it.
00:55Most importantly, Rourke, great best.
00:57Thank you so much for being a part of Elevator Pitch on the Street.
01:01To show our gratitude, Amazon Business would like to gift you $500
01:04to use however you need in the business.
