Matt Scullin, the founder and CEO of Alphabet Energy, sat staring out the window of his Berkeley office, but the sunny December day barely registered. He was lost in thought, wondering which market Alphabet should enter first. It was 2010, and the start-up had a working prototype of a thermoelectric device—a solid-state semiconductor that could turn heat into electricity. He had just closed on $1.5 million in seed funding. Scullin knew that his young business was at a crucial point: a misstep now could cost him the company.
