Bob Krause is a Microgrid Policy Strategist and seasoned technologist based in Berkeley with over 10 years focused on scaling distributed energy resources and a multi-decade history building software and product ventures. He blends deep engineering chops—from founding NeoLogic and pioneering an embedded object database—to pragmatic policy design at Spark Communities, where he’s crafting regulatory workarounds that accelerate community microgrids in California. Bob has founded multiple mission-driven initiatives (including East Bay Solar Neighborhoods and Inventor Studios) that translate technical innovation into community adoption and education. Comfortable as an architect, founder, or hands-on developer, he repeatedly turns complex regulatory, technical, and market challenges into executable strategies. A less obvious thread through his career is a persistent focus on tooling and user-friendly systems—whether tiny cross-platform databases or neighborhood-facing solar decision tools—that lower barriers to adoption.
