Talk to James,
directly.
I read every email. Most engagements start with a 30-minute conversation — the fastest way to see if EnergyLab is the right shape of help for what you’re trying to do.
Two channels.
Both reach me.
Email is best for a brief. LinkedIn is fine for an introduction or a quick question. Either way, the person on the other end is the person who does the work.
What helps me give
a useful first reply.
You don't need a deck or a long write-up. Three or four lines covering the points below means the first reply can be substantive rather than a list of clarifying questions.
The shape of your business.
Supplier, energy SaaS, energy-services, investor — and roughly where you sit in the market.
The specific question.
The decision, launch or problem you're trying to make progress on. A sentence or two is plenty.
Timing.
When you'd want help to start, and whether there's a hard date driving it (board, regulator, fundraise, launch).
Anything sensitive.
If the conversation needs an NDA before substance, say so — that's normal.
