Episode description

In this episode: Emily’s conversation with Laura Schewel, the founder and CEO of StreetLight Data.

While at UC Berkeley, Laura got interested giving EV owners more information about how they were driving their cars. She ended up uncovering a data gold mine in the process. 

Laura built a company that now processes over 100 billion data points and provides transportation and urban planners with a granular view of how roads, bike lanes and sidewalks are being used.

This conversation was recorded in 2019 in front of a live audience at Powerhouse’s headquarters in Oakland, CA
