About Seth Hallam

Entrepreneurship wasn’t something I thought I\'d pursue and for years I worked hands-on in traditional Oil & Gas companies solving problems with telemetry, instrumentation, and field operations. As I got deeper into energy, I realized the impact you can make by tackling inefficiencies head-on and building something new, leading me to co-found Loopback Systems.If we can help utilities and developers get solar and other DERs online faster, we don\'t just improve grid reliability, we make the clean energy transition tangible and real. At Loopback Systems we\'re not just after business, we\'re building something that lasts. The work is harder, but looking back we\'ll know that we created something, and it mattered.
