DESCRIPTION
David Wechsler is also thinking differently about how we use our resources as a society. During the work week, he's a product engineer developing smart grid hardware and communication systems that help utilities deliver electricity more efficiently and sustainably. The rest of the time, he's the founder of ElectricFertilizer.com, where he's working on a chemical-free way to increase crop yields. David will share his journey towards commercializing something so disruptive, including the journey to finding partners and getting to a sustainable business for him, too.
