gener8tor Founder Series Spotlight: Anurag Kamal, ElectricFish
In this episode, we’re featuring Anurag Kamal, Co-Founder and CEO of ElectricFish, a San Carlos, California based energy company building a distributed electrical grid through intelligent battery systems. ElectricFish deploys 400 kilowatt hour batteries that store energy when it is cheapest or cleanest and export it back to the grid during peak demand, enabling ultra fast EV charging without straining existing infrastructure.
Anurag participated in the U.S. Venture Sustainability Accelerator Powered by gener8tor in 2025. For him, the experience was about proximity and perspective. Spending time in Appleton alongside other founders created space for organic problem solving, particularly around financial modeling and capital structure. The program also offered direct exposure to how a vertically integrated energy company operates, providing practical insight into scaling in a highly complex industry.
Today, ElectricFish has deployed units across six U.S. cities, partnering with utilities and major automotive OEMs to fund early deployments. The team is assembling and testing systems in their Bay Area facility while preparing to scale manufacturing in the Midwest. As they continue piloting with gas station partners, their long term vision remains clear: rebuild the grid from the ground up through distributed energy assets.
Anurag’s biggest insight for founders:
“You need to break down complex concepts in a very simple way. Stop the urge to make it complex.”
Anurag’s ask:
If you are curious about how a decentralized electrical grid will work or want to better understand the future of distributed energy, connect with Anurag and follow ElectricFish’s journey.
Anurag’s story highlights what it takes to build in one of the most infrastructure heavy and capital intensive industries in the world. From simplifying complex ideas to strategically leveraging the right partnerships, his journey reflects the power of clarity, proximity, and long term vision when tackling systemic challenges.
A special thank you to our partner, U.S. Venture, Inc., for making this program possible and for supporting innovative founders building the future of energy.
