Do You Have A Small Business That We Can Help You Start or Grow?
Success Story: ChargeNet
ChargeNet is a clean-technology software start-up in San Diego that has used SBDC advisors, programs, and resources to achieve its success. CEO Tosh Dutt says like a typical start-up they started with nothing, but they have gained much by way of the local start-up ecosystem including the SBDC network and angel investors as well as becoming a semi-finalist at the latest San Diego Angel Conference. While his team works to expand electric vehicle infrastructure with ChargeNet stations, Dutt says, the SBDC continues to sincerely care about entrepreneurs. He adds The Brink SBDC’s Lean Essentials Sprint eight-week course set him up for success with leading and framing the future of ChargeNet to be effective.
The company is building its business relationships and customer base including franchise locations, construction contracts, staffing, and federal agency talks. Work in California include a $4.5 million contract with $150,000 in annual recurring revenue for 10 years and a $1.75 million contract with $35,000-40,000 ARR for 10 years.

“The community that The Brink, USD, and the SBDCs down here have created has really embraced what I’m doing, the company, and ideas we brought to the table — to really help nurture us to grow. None of the growth that we’ve had would happen without this.”
