Founder Story: Potential Labs

Potential Labs and its flagship product, Glow, in Athens, Ohio, leverage the power of smart sensor technology and the Internet of Things to keep customers informed and manage their energy usage. Using data transmitted by sensors between the external meter box and a sleek in-home display unit, Glow emits subtle color-coded, round-the-clock alerts. Based on the colors indicating the state of their energy health—green, yellow or red—customers can adjust their usage accordingly to save money and reduce environmental impact. Potential Labs created Glow with support from TechGROWTH Ohio, a southeast Ohio regional partner of Ohio Third Frontier.
