SUMMARY:Reservoir @ the Roux: Hot Water to Save the Grid
DESCRIPTION:​Reservoir\, the heat pump water heater company\, is opening in Portland\, and we’d love to celebrate with you. \n​Join us at the Roux Institute for an evening of hot drinks and good company\, just as Maine settles into winter. Our hot cocoa and tea bar will celebrate the joy of hot water on a fall day: \n\n\n​The Long Hot Shower: a classic mulled cider (or turn it into a hot toddy) \n\n\n​The Thermal Battery: hot cocoa that warms you up from the inside \n\n\n​The Non-Wired Alternative: decaf coffee that won’t get you wired \n\n\n​The Off-Peak: a selection of tea to wind down into the evening \n\n\n​Meet our Portland team\, see a Reservoir up close\, and take home a travel mug (a Caffeine Reservoir\, if you will) for the cold months ahead. \n​Co-hosted by the ClimateTech Incubator at Northeastern University’s Roux Institute\, which supports early-stage climate and energy companies building in Maine. Come connect with founders\, investors\, and partners from across Maine’s climatetech community.
