| BW&CO Consulting helps emerging technology companies secure and execute non-dilutive funding from federal agencies, state programs, foundations, and strategic public-sector partners. BW&CO supports clients across the full funding lifecycle, including opportunity identification, funding strategy, proposal development, stakeholder outreach, submission support, and post-award positioning.
BW&CO brings a systematic, data-informed approach. Rather than relying only on individual consultant experience, BW&CO applies lessons learned from 3,000+ funded proposals representing $3B+ in awards. This gives clients pattern recognition across agencies, technical domains, review criteria, and award pathways.
Services include identifying and prioritizing funding opportunities; proposal writing, review, and editing; technical and commercialization positioning; budget and milestone support; stakeholder outreach strategy; and monitoring across funding sources.
Key Differentiators
1. Unmatched Funding Experience
BW&CO applies lessons learned from 3,000+ funded proposals and $3B+ awarded to every engagement. While traditional consultants often rely on limited individual experience, BW&CO brings insight from thousands of successful funding efforts. One client with former senior defense leaders relies on BW&CO because the firm provides funding intelligence and competitive positioning they cannot replicate.
2. Front Door + Back Door Approach
Traditional consultants often focus only on the published solicitation. BW&CO also analyzes underlying funding dynamics, including agency priorities, stakeholder interests, direct outreach opportunities, and non-obvious pathways to award. This helped one client uncover a non-public fast-track pathway.
3. Broad Opportunity Coverage
Many firms focus narrowly on one funding stream. BW&CO monitors hundreds of opportunities daily and identifies pathways across agencies, programs, and strategic partners. This helped one client find an opportunity they did not know existed, leading to their first federal defense contract. |

Duke Alloh is the inventor of the Highway Undercrossing and Tunnel Micro-Wind Energy System (HUTMWES) — the first micro-wind turbine technology designed to harvest vehicle-induced airflow from enclosed transportation corridors including highway tunnels, freeway undercrossings, rail tunnels, and airport taxiway passages.
BACKGROUND: MBA, BS Geology. USPTO inventor with pending patent applications. STEM educator. Creator of the Highway Infrastructure Revenue Program (HIRP), a non-tax revenue mechanism for infrastructure-generated energy.
INTERESTS: Seeking partners to advance HUTMWES from concept (TRL 1-3) through validated prototype (TRL 5-7). The project targets an untapped resource: sustained winds generated by vehicles in 545+ U.S. highway tunnels and tens of thousands of undercrossings that consume an estimated 2-5 TWh/yr from the grid while wasting continuous kinetic energy. HUTMWES captures that energy via proprietary vertical-axis wind turbine technology with significant modeled efficiency gains over conventional small-wind systems, non-invasive modular mounting requiring no permanent structural modification, and traffic-responsive energy optimization. Four deployment variants address urban, rural, rail, and airport corridors.
CAPABILITIES:
\- Proprietary IP portfolio with patent-pending technology across multiple systems
\- System architecture and operations concept across all four deployment variants
\- 10-year TRL 1-9 commercialization roadmap with phased funding strategy
\- Regulatory engagement framework for DOT/FHWA/FTA approvals
\- Energy equity strategy aligned with Justice40 and STEM workforce development
PARTNERS SOUGHT:
\- Aerodynamics/CFD researchers for wind tunnel testing and computational modeling
\- VAWT engineers for blade optimization, prototype fabrication, power electronics
\- National labs (NREL, Sandia, PNNL, Argonne) for validation and grid integration
\- University groups in fluid dynamics, control systems, AI, materials science
\- State DOTs and transit authorities for pilot site access
\- Manufacturing partners for modular turbine production
\- Utility partners for interconnection and energy purchase agreements
IMPACT: HUTMWES addresses all three ARPA-E missions — reducing imports, reducing emissions, improving efficiency — by converting wasted vehicle-induced wind into distributed renewable electricity. Deployment of 5,000+ installations could generate 150-500MW, creating a new energy category: |

| Ash Valor LLC, led by founder and principal investigator Paul W. Burt, is developing a solvent-free, AI-directed rare-earth and critical-oxide separation platform that integrates Dielectrophoresis (DEP) and Electrostatic Nanoparticle Gettering (ENG) into a unified, closed-loop process. The system uses field-based particle manipulation and ligand-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles to achieve high-purity separation of rare-earth elements (REEs) and metal oxides from ore, mine tailings, coal fly ash, and other industrial residues.
A neural-network controller dynamically adjusts electric-field frequency, voltage, and waveform while monitoring real-time spectroscopic and conductivity data (XRF, LIBS). This adaptive control continuously optimizes recovery efficiency and energy consumption. Bench-scale tests indicate REE recoveries exceeding 90 percent and SiO₂ purities above 99.999 percent, all with zero solvents or acid leachates, eliminating the environmental burden of conventional hydrometallurgical refining.
Ash Valor’s goal is to validate a 1-ton-per-day pilot within 12 months, followed by scale-up to a 1-million-ton-per-year commercial facility producing roughly 1,000 tons of REE oxides and more than 500,000 tons of SiO₂ and co-products annually. The process is modular, enabling replication across the United States to meet 100 percent of national REE demand within five years. Beyond rare-earths, the DEP-ENG framework applies to recovery of Al₂O₃, TiO₂, ZnO, and Fe₂O₃ for high-value oxide markets.
Ash Valor seeks collaboration with national laboratories, universities, and industrial partners in materials characterization, ore beneficiation, AI control systems, and process-scale validation. Ideal teaming partners include organizations with expertise in electromagnetic field modeling, nanoparticle chemistry, analytical instrumentation, and techno-economic analysis. The company welcomes participation under ARPA-E’s upcoming Advancing Characterization of Rare Earth Deposits (RFI-0000093) program and future SCALEUP initiatives.
Through cooperative research, Ash Valor aims to establish a solvent-free, environmentally responsible foundation for U.S. rare-earth independence—advancing ARPA-E’s mission to secure clean-energy supply chains while strengthening domestic industrial capability. |
