The founder of Uncharted Power, a startup backed by ex-NBA player Magic Johnson, explains how her startup's unique structure helped it navigate the coronavirus downturn

Jessica O. Matthews, a Nigerian-American Harvard-educated businesswoman, has been steering her startup through the coronavirus for the past few months.

Storms can rip down power lines, and floods can disrupt underground electricity conduits, so Matthews is advancing another option: sturdy "pavers'' laid down at ground level through which the juice can flow. So Uncharted Power builds secure, tech-ready panels that can be set into the ground at a lower cost, allowing power as well as data connectivity to flow in and out of every panel placed on the ground. The startup sees the panels as a solution to provide power to underserved communities facing issues with power generation, transmission, or storage.

As the coronavirus pandemic has confined people to their homes, the startup says its goal is more important than ever. Uncharted had been focusing its efforts to demonstrate its technology on a pilot site in the Tristate area, but it has paused efforts on testing the panels on the pilot site itself. But Matthews says that there's been plenty of desktop work to keep the team busy.
