I’m genuinely proud to share that Emission Free Generators has been selected as a Semi-Finalist in Pepperdine Graziadio Business School's 2026 Most Fundable Companies competition. We're one of 85 companies chosen from a field of more than 2,100 applicants nationwide. The competition evaluates companies on financial projections, market opportunity, intellectual property, competitive advantage, and management team strength. The same lens professional investors use to size up early-stage companies.We think what caught the judges' attention is what you as our investors have already recognized: a team that has spent years validating this technology in the field, a growing patent position protecting it, and a vision for where hydrogen-on-demand power goes next.Chase and I have spent the last several years building ZenH2 around a simple concept: power that works when the grid doesn't, without combustion, noise, or emissions. That work is backed by independently validated testing, evaluation from organizations including the U.S. Army and SoCalGas, and a patent portfolio of six pending applications with the USPTO. Being recognized by a program with this kind of national reach is a good marker that the case we're making resonates outside our Wefunder investor community too.ZenH2 is our first product, not our last. We're already looking at where this technology goes beyond portable power, and hearing interest from construction job sites, hospitals, and other enterprise settings that need dependable power without compromise, alongside the households we built this for in the first place.It's also landing at a good moment. We're approaching $1M raised in our current round, with $972,513 currently committed, and over 500 investors now part of the Emission Free Generators story. That kind of momentum doesn't happen without people believing in what we're building and we’re grateful to be recognized by a program with such prestige.The full Most Fundable Companies List, including any Finalist or Winner designations, will be released on September 23. We'll share more then. Stay tuned!If you've been on the fence about joining this round, now is a good time to take a closer look or book a call with me directly to learn about the opportunity.Mark CollinsCo-Founder & CEO, Emission Free Generators, Inc.
