Summary
David Pizzo is a deep-tech founder and CEO with 11 years of experience building hardware-software solutions at the intersection of energy, AI, and nanoelectronics. As founder of Carbo Energy he leads R&D and strategy for hybrid non-aqueous redox flow batteries aimed at containerized, long-duration grid storage with validated low active-material costs, while previously founding and exiting Nydro and monetizing NyVind's IP. His background spans semiconductor engineering (ASML, MIT hardware courses), AI-driven product deployment at scale (IAtos served 2M+ users for Buenos Aires), and entrepreneurship across LATAM, MENA and the US. He teaches AI and nanoelectronics, co-founded an NGO to bring entrepreneurship to high schools, and was named MIT Technology Review Innovator Under 35 LATAM. Unusually, his technical work pairs hands-on memristor and VLSI experience with ML-driven materials optimization and commercial tenders for national grid projects. He blends operator-level product delivery with a founder’s instinct learned wrapping eggs in his grandmother’s shop—practical, cost-aware, and mission-driven.
