Federal research dollars, managed like they're being watched. Because they are.

Powerhouse Foundation secures and administers government grants — currently $6.275M across the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Homeland Security — and moves the resulting technology into production through structured IP licensing with the Colossal Capital ecosystem.

Research areas

Where the work happens

Energy harvesting

Piezoelectric TENG materials, kinetic energy conversion, wearable generation, and grid integration of distributed sources.

AI infrastructure

Natural-language query translation, streaming SQL optimization, model routing, and real-time data pipelines.

Blockchain security

Formal verification of smart contracts, cross-chain security, DeFi vulnerability detection, and interoperability protocols.

Environmental technology

Brownfield remediation methods, soil contamination sensors, groundwater monitoring, and environmental data analytics.

Technology transfer

From the lab bench to the invoice

IP managementAll grant-funded intellectual property — patents, trade secrets, copyrights — is owned and professionally managed by the Foundation.
LicensingEcosystem companies license Foundation IP at fair market rates; revenue funds further research and grant matching.
CommercializationResearch moves into production through Wovin, Hermes, Jacynth, and other Colossal Capital products.
Open publicationResults go to peer-reviewed journals and open-access repositories. Public money, public knowledge.

Note for ecosystem users: the Foundation also runs grant scoring and IP evaluation tooling for Colossal Capital. Software access follows your CC tier, via the keys portal.
