Verdek and Andromeda Power Unveil Proprietary V2B Platform Targeting a $50B+ Vehicle-to-Grid Market

Published

on

MotorTransformer™ technology delivers 90% infrastructure cost reduction, positioning the partnership at the center of the emerging, high-growth V2X economy.

MONROE, Conn., June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Verdek LLC, a vertically integrated EV charging infrastructure leader with 18 years of deployment experience, and Andromeda Power LLC, developer of the patented MotorTransformer™ bidirectional power platform, today announced a strategic technology partnership. This joint commercial go-to-market strategy, launched at the 2nd Annual Vehicle-to-Grid USA 2026 summit, marks a milestone in both companies’ growth trajectories, introducing a capital-efficient platform that enables electric vehicles to deliver power directly to buildings and the grid at up to 133 kW.

Addressing a Market Bottleneck with Defensible Technology
The V2G and V2B market has long been constrained by the prohibitive cost of bidirectional charging hardware, with conventional systems often exceeding $100,000 per connector—a barrier that has historically restricted deployment to small-scale pilots.

The Verdek-Andromeda platform fundamentally eliminates this bottleneck. The MotorTransformer™ technology, currently being developed by Andromeda Power, repurposes an EV’s existing traction motor as a galvanically isolated transformer while the vehicle is parked. This enables native high-power AC bidirectional operation with no additional hardware, no added vehicle weight, and no requirement to replace existing AC infrastructure.

Key Performance & Economic Metrics

Infrastructure Savings: 90% cost reduction vs. conventional offboard DC systems.High-Power Capability: 133 kW bidirectional AC operation (J3068/J3068-2 compliant).Exceptional Efficiency: 97.9% round-trip efficiency.Scalable BOM: $1,500 vehicle-onboard Bill of Materials, enabling rapid OEM and fleet integration.Validated IP: Platform protected by issued patents; validated via bench testing at 50 kW.

A Scalable, Defensible Business Model
The total addressable market (TAM) for V2X services is projected to exceed $50 billion by the early 2030s. Verdek and Andromeda’s platform is designed for rapid horizontal scaling, leveraging existing AC electrical infrastructure present in commercial buildings and fleet depots globally.

Verdek brings 18 years of established customer relationships, a nationwide footprint, and deep integrations with tier-one hardware partners like ChargePoint and ABB. Andromeda Power contributes the foundational IP and engineering roadmap. Together, this partnership presents a compelling combination of proprietary technology and proven commercial infrastructure.

Executive Commentary
“Fleet operators and building owners are sitting on an enormous untapped energy asset—the vehicles already in their lots,” said Guy Mannino, CEO of Verdek. “We’ve spent 18 years building the infrastructure relationships to monetize that asset at scale. The MotorTransformer™ is the technology that makes the economics work. This partnership is turning a market stuck in pilot mode into one ready for immediate commercial deployment.”

Intellectible Closes $3 Million Seed Round to Scale AI Revenue Operations for Enterprise Service Providers

Austin-based company helps ESPs turn the processes that made them successful into AI systems that can scale

AUSTIN, Texas, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Intellectible, the AI-native revenue operations platform, today announced the close of a $3 million seed round led by Bread & Butter Ventures, with participation from Victorum Capital, Gray Ventures, Circadian Ventures, Allied VC, High Street Equity Partners, and angel investor Adam Burgoon.

“Enterprise service providers are some of the biggest, most important, and most under-automated companies in the economy,” said Jesse Lozano, CEO and Co-founder, citing an industry estimate of $2 trillion in annual federal, state, and education contract spending. “ESPs deliver critical services across government, healthcare, facilities, technology, infrastructure, education, defense, and other major markets, but many of their core revenue workflows still run on spreadsheets, inboxes, shared drives, manual research, and institutional knowledge trapped in people’s heads.”

The platform and team map how a company actually wins and executes work: its SOPs, documents, templates, pricing logic, CRM data, approvals, customer context, and decision-making patterns. Intellectible then turns those processes into configurable AI engines for capture, proposal development, pricing, estimation, knowledge management, and related workflows.

“The services industry is massive, deeply complex, and almost entirely underserved by software,” said Brett Brohl, Managing Partner of Bread & Butter Ventures. “Intellectible is not a model wrapper or a thin AI feature; it requires real systems engineering, workflow design, customer discovery, and implementation discipline. Jesse, along with co-founders Rosie and Reuben are exactly the team to build it.”

“For services firms, the non-linear scaling we’ve enabled means the same team can evaluate more opportunities, pursue more of the right work, respond faster, price with better context, and manage more complexity without adding headcount at the same rate,” Lozano added.

Intellectible already works with numerous ESPs and early results include a more than 300 percent increase in qualified top-of-funnel pipeline for one customer with a 95 percent reduction in associated admin work, and a more than 150 percent increase in qualified federal pipeline for Oceus, a 20-year-old enterprise wireless services provider.

HHS, a powerhouse in the support services industry with over 22,000 employees, is another Intellectible customer. “What Intellectible is building for us goes far beyond automation,” said HHS Head of Growth Derek Kissos. “They are helping us architect an intelligent operating system for growth – one that understands our business at a deep, structural level and turns that understanding into continuous action. For the first time, we can see how AI can operate alongside our teams capturing how we think, how we qualify, how we price, and how we execute, and then scaling those capabilities 24/7 across the entire enterprise.”

The new funding will accelerate product development, expand go-to-market across government contracting and enterprise services, and increase implementation capacity for larger customers.
