Climate tech company, Monalee, has welcomed Austin Frogge as Chief Revenue Officer. Frogge has extensive experience taking organizations from small to large and comes with a deep understanding of differentiated go-to-market strategies for both B2B and D2C organizations. Throughout his career as a cleantech executive, Frogge has shown a relentless focus on improving customer experience and a strong ability to build teams and systems that scale.

BOSTON, Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ –Monalee is accelerating its mission to make home solar and storage the go-to choice for homeowners and businesses nationwide. With a focus on innovation and customer-centric solutions, the company is rapidly expanding its operations across the U.S., bringing state-of-the-art solar technology to more communities. Since launching in June 2022, the fast-growing startup has already provided more than 200,000 homeowners with free, no obligation solar proposals that include fully automated designs, accurate pricing, and customization capabilities.

In the last year alone, Monalee has expanded to 26 states across the country, and a big part of this comes down to hiring the right people at the right time.

“Every hire a company makes is important–they will shape the product, operations or customer experience in some way. This is even more compounded in the early days of building a company, so we are extra diligent and mindful to find the right people to join us at Monalee. For us, that means scrappy, resourceful people who are also big thinkers and have track records to prove they get things done with very little,” explains Monalee co-founder and CEO, Walid Halty.

As part of their intentional hiring approach, Monalee has welcomed Austin Frogge as Chief Revenue Officer. Frogge has extensive experience taking organizations from small to large and comes with a deep understanding of differentiated go-to-market strategies for both B2B and D2C organizations. Throughout his career as a cleantech executive, Frogge has shown a relentless focus on improving customer experience and a strong ability to build teams and systems that scale.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Austin to the Monalee team and are looking forward to the deep impact he will have on our company as we move forward in our mission to accelerate home electrification by making the installation of solar, storage and EV more trustworthy, transparent, and accessible,” Halty shares.

Most recently, Frogge served as Sunrun’s VP of Sales, growing divisional revenue from $75 million to more than $500 million a year, 600 employees, and 14,000 customers annually. He also won Comparably’s ‘Best Sales Team’ award in 2022 and 2023. Before Sunrun, Frogge worked at SolarCity as their Regional Sales Director and holds a B.S in Supply Chain Management and a B.A. in Sustainability from the W.P. Carey School of Business.

“I’m energized to join the Monalee team at such an inflection point in our industry. It’s time to democratize solar so that more homeowners have access to the benefits of clean, renewable and predictable energy. That means lowering the costs, and barriers for homeowners to transact while providing better transparency in a digital age,” shares Frogge.

Among Frogge’s first actions as CRO will be to operationalize the early sales systems at Monalee to be more scalable to serve more people- while making sure they still maintain a core focus on the consumer. He will also work to add differentiated go-to-market strategies to reach customers in more places that are looking for home electrification solutions.

Monalee is currently available in 26 US states, with eight more to be added by end of year. Taking a digital-first approach to selling and installing home solar systems, Monalee’s patent-pending technology uses millions of data points to digitize and ‘shopify’ the buying experience based on customers’ homes and needs. They provide highly accurate initial solar designs to homeowners, complete with transparent pricing and clear timeline milestones.

About Monalee:

Monalee is a climate tech company that is accelerating the adoption of home solar, storage, and EV charging. By leveraging powerful machine learning and removing commission-based salespeople and system designers from the process, we are able to secure the same solar panel systems for homeowners at half the price compared to the top traditional solar companies in the U.S., making us the fastest, most efficient way to go solar. More information can be found on Monalee.co and on LinkedIn.

Can Independent Physicians Survive in 2025?

Learn How at an Exclusive Webinar on Nov. 20th Hosted by Medical Economics and Specialdocs 

CHICAGO, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In healthcare change is inevitable, but for independent physicians already facing an uncertain economic forecast in 2025, the prospect of a new administration is sparking even more concern. To help decipher the implications of an ever-evolving regulatory and reimbursement landscape, Medical Economics has teamed up with Terry Bauer, CEO of concierge medicine pioneer Specialdocs Consultants, and Max Reiboldt, Chairman of leading healthcare advisory, Coker, to present an exclusive, informational webinar for physicians on November 20th. Bauer and Reiboldt bring insights gained collectively over more than a century advising physicians on career strategies, to address the headwinds that threaten to topple private medical practices, and explain why concierge medicine offers one of today’s most viable pathways to retaining independence. 

Prominent healthcare industry experts share how physicians can thrive in 2025: join our complimentary webinar on Nov. 20th.

CLICK HERE to register for “2025 Forecast for Physicians: Financial Headwinds, Continued Burnout, and How Concierge Medicine May Be the Cure for What Ails You” at 7 pm CST/8 pm EST on Wednesday, November 20th.

“Now representing just 22% of all practices,1 the independent physician is in danger of disappearing altogether amid unrelenting financial, professional and personal pressures,” says Bauer. “Among other challenges, rising costs to operate a traditional practice and continual cuts to Medicare reimbursements have contributed to an overall 29% downward slide in Medicare compensation over the last two decades.”2

He continues: “Yet we know that a change to our membership medicine model can prove lifesaving, restoring practice sustainability and ushering in a new era of unparalleled career satisfaction. We’ve long championed this solution for physicians in private practice, who have been consistently unappreciated for the very real value they bring to their patients and the health system.” 

Adds Reiboldt: “Physicians in private practice are still a cornerstone of our healthcare system yet are facing challenges that threaten their existence. More and more physicians are affiliating with capital and/or strategic partners, which is not a bad thing but still threatens their independence and private structure.”

A number of crucial issues will be examined during the webinar. “We will approach these with sensitivity as all providers (physicians, health systems, private and public investors, et al) share in both the credit and the blame for our current state of affairs,” says Reiboldt.

Topics will include:

The new administration’s approach to lowering costs, reducing regulatory barriers to consolidation and expanding price transparency mandates for healthcare services.Future use of AI and other technologies to drive greater efficiencies, quality of care.The outlook for primary care providers and programs such as Medicare Advantage, risk-based reimbursement, quality incentives.How upcoming changes in reimbursement and regulations impact the financial viability of traditional practices.Strategies for maintaining or regaining independence as a practitioner; concierge medicine as a model offering sustainable financial security and work-life balance.

By

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Rokid is poised to unveil its groundbreaking next-generation smart glasses, the Rokid Glasses, at the highly anticipated Rokid Jungle 2024 event, set to take place on 18 November in Hangzhou, China. Seamlessly integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence with augmented reality, Rokid Glasses represent the pinnacle of innovation. As the most eagerly awaited event in the augmented reality calendar, Rokid Jungle 2024 is destined to be the largest and most consequential gathering of its kind on the global stage. With an impressive turnout expected of over 1,000 distinguished attendees, the event will serve as a landmark occasion, bringing together partners, visionaries, and industry leaders. The launch of the Rokid Glasses promises to elevate the smart daily experience to unprecedented heights, setting new standards in the realm of wearable technology.

Rokid Glasses: Transforming AI and AR into an Essential Daily Gadget for All
Rokid Glasses combine style, comfort, and lightweight design with intuitive, AI-powered features. Integrated with Alibaba’s Tongyi Qianwen AI, Rokid Glasses offer a range of capabilities, including object recognition, text translation, and even solving complex math problems. It can calculate the calorie content of food or provide real-time language translation, making it an indispensable tool for travelers.

Empowered by Zhi Xiaobao, Alibaba’s AI assistant, Rokid Glasses allow users to take full control of their world with simple voice commands, whether booking a ride or ordering a coffee. The advanced voiceprint recognition technology also facilitates secure payments via Alipay, ensuring a seamless and trusted connection to the user’s phone. Alipay’s cutting-edge AI audio detection technology guarantees top-tier security and fraud prevention during transactions.

A standout feature of Rokid Glasses is the ability to view message notifications directly through the glasses, effectively replacing the need for a phone screen. This functionality hints at a future where Rokid Glasses may evolve into a central hub of daily life, potentially replacing smartphones altogether as an essential tech gadget. “We’ve crafted our new glasses to redefine the user experience, bringing the world’s first AI+AR glasses to daily life,” says Misa Zhu, Founder and CEO of Rokid. “Our mission is to make high-quality AI+AR glasses accessible to everyone, and this launch marks a bold step in that direction.” True to Rokid’s ethos of Leave Nobody Behind, the Rokid Glasses bridge gaps in accessibility, usability, and comfort, ensuring that everyone can experience the transformative power of innovation.

Rokid’s Role to Impact Global Tech Arena and Its Commitments for leading AR Industry
Rokid is making significant strides in transforming the museum experience using augmented reality (AR) technology to enhance visitor engagement. By providing immersive, interactive experiences, Rokid brings historical artifacts and exhibitions to life in exciting new ways. With over 2.5 million users benefiting from its AR glasses and more than 300,000 of these users have made actual purchases and are actively engaged with the devices. Even more striking is the fact that Rokid users spend an average of 2 hours and 45 minutes daily with Rokid glasses—this not only underscores the strong appeal of Rokid’s products but also reflects the growing consumer interest in and adoption of augmented reality technology.

Rokid’s ecosystem continues to flourish, with over 6,200 registered developers, highlighting the company’s significant progress in cultivating an open and thriving ecosystem. As the race in augmented reality heats up, major players are competing for dominance in this rapidly evolving space. With AR technology expanding its global footprint, the question remains: who will emerge as the true leader in the AR industry? While the collaboration between Ray-Ban and Meta has brought new energy to the smart glasses market, Meta continues to face challenges. Despite a decade of investment in XR, VR, and AR, Meta has made strides with VR hardware like the Meta Quest but still struggles with slow user adoption and limited AR functionality.

Rokid Jungle 2024: A Decade of Breaking Boundaries in Augmented Reality
Rokid Jungle 2024 commemorates a significant milestone: Rokid’s 10th anniversary and the beginning of the next decade of AR innovation. From its founding in 2014, Rokid has maintained a relentless focus on human-computer interaction, driving the evolution of AR technology through unwavering dedication to innovation. From setting industry standards with the original Rokid Glass to the highly regarded consumer product Rokid Air, and now with the trendsetting AR Studio and AR Lite, Rokid has played a key role in propelling the AR industry forward.

With the launch of the latest Rokid Glasses, the company reaffirms its leadership in the new wave of AR technological innovation. To mark this remarkable milestone, Rokid is delighted to offer a $20 benefit on all purchases made via the official website, using the code ROKID10 at checkout. Looking ahead, Rokid is thrilled to showcase its innovations at CES 2025, where will continue to lead the charge in AR technology. Rokid looks forward to seeing you there and sharing the next chapter of this exciting journey.
