About Dipul Patel

Solving the energy crisis is very important to me. It\'s what led me to start Ecovent in 2013, and what ultimately made me choose Soluna as my new weapon to attack this problem. Asynchronous or Batch Compute is going to change the world. Video Rendering, AI, NLP, Machine Learning, Deep Data Modeling and Blockchain has already shown a glimpse of this - but that\'s only the tip of the iceberg. The thing is, this new world needs a lot of very specific computing power, and those computers need energy. One of the biggest problems holding back green energy is integrating the variable supply of that energy with the aging electrical infrastructure (the grid) which supplies that energy to the consumers. A lot of attention is going into modernizing these grids, including adding huge, wasteful battery packs. We\'ve developed a new data center that can be co-located with green energy sites, and make them vastly more profitable - completely disconnecting the reliance to the grid. This will unlock terawatts of green energy. So, humanity\'s insatiable appetite for compute power will actually be the catalyst that ushers in a green revolution and finally puts oil out of business.

Experience

1. Lecturer

   Mit Sloan School Of Management

   Jul 2019 — Present · Cambridge, MA, US

   I teach 15.399, Entrepreneurship lab. This is a class filled with incredible students from MIT, Harvard and Wesley, from undergrads to post docs, focused on giving students real world experience in entrepreneurship by partnering them with high growth companies facing real-world challenges during an inflection point. The aim of the class is to help students feel entrepreneurship, and determine if it\'s a career path they want to lean into, or shy away from. There is no way to simulate the chaos of entrepreneurship, you have to feel it. That\'s our goal at MIT and E-lab!
