Creating new paths to prosperity
NEW YORK, NY

When she was just 22, Jessica Matthews founded Uncharted Power to provide clean, low-cost energy and data through a renewable power infrastructure. The global full-service power technology company works to better the world by changing the way we get and distribute electricity.

Uncharted Power started in 2011 based upon a product Matthews invented when she was just 19 — the SOCCKET ball — an energy-generating soccer ball that provides off-grid power for the developing world. The company has grown to help municipalities and government agencies create a sustainable energy infrastructure, working toward a mission of universal renewable energy access. Thanks to her, pretty soon, every step we take might generate energy; that’s one giant leap forward and one brilliant idea being put into action today.
