Martim Perestrelo

I am one of the Co-founders of Tether, an e-mobility company that turns EVs into energy storage. My background is in Mechanical engineering and I have a double degree master's from InnoEnergy Master School, having specialized in energy storage and electricity markets. I also have graduated from 3 courses in management and entrepreneurship at ESADE, Georgetown and Genoa universities. During my master's, I worked on a lot of different projects. Developed a Large Scale Solar Hybrid project (course-related), worked (alongside 3 other colleagues) as an energy & water consultant for StoraEnso and was involved for a period of two years in a sustainability project regarding biogas cooking technologies in Uganda. Besides this, my other main focus was on-grid power systems, electricity markets, power generation, CO2 externalities handling, and sustainable energy sources. Working within multi-cultural teams and environments has improved my ability to adapt to new and different work experiences, my teamwork, and my project management skills. Engaging with many cross-industry-sector individuals has widened my perspectives and helped me deepen my knowledge of sustainability, renewable energies, and energy-efficient disruptive technologies. I am passionate about entrepreneurship and I am always happy to contribute with my advice and opinions to help others. Therefore, always feel free to reach out! I can help in brainstorming, business model, go-to-market, financials, investments, company legal issues, pitching, etc.
