Years ago as a young-ish analyst I learned an important thing about building meaningful information products: they require both a supply push and a demand pull in order to really work. If there is supply and no demand, no one will buy; if there is demand and no supply, there is nothing to sell.
The universe of energy information is too vast and too high-velocity for any one analyst. It’s too much for many teams of analysts. As I write this today, Halcyon has aggregated and organized information from 41 state public utility commissions (plus the District of Columbia!), and we already ingest up to 2,000 filings and regulatory documents every day.
Last week, San Francisco Climate Week provided us the opportunity to host our very own event at Halcyon HQ and enjoy having our distributed team gathered together in the same office. The collaboration was strong, the coffee was hot, the vibes were peak; a real startup experience.
Halcyon programming note: we are all in movement this week as we prepare to gather the entire team in San Francisco next week. While we’re thrilled to get our team together, we will be taking a break from our normally scheduled content, so see below for three announcements from us to hold you over!
I had the fortune (neither good nor bad) of being an energy analyst in 2008 as Lehman Brothers collapsed, in part triggering a global financial crisis. I was also an energy analyst, again, when a pandemic caused the mechanics and circulatory system of much of the global economy to seize up in 2020.
