Two bold startups. One game-changing platform. Cheddar TV’s hit series Go Fund Yourself returns with a powerful punch, combining purpose, innovation, and the pulse of real-world entrepreneurship in Season 2, Episode 4.
Airing June 19th, Season 2, Episode 4 of Go Fund Yourself proves once again why this show isn’t just Shark Tank’s edgier cousin — it’s an emotional, high-stakes thrill ride through the future of innovation. With a unique blend of real-world entrepreneurs, no-script surprises, and multi-million-dollar dreams, this week’s episode takes viewers inside two transformational ventures: Energy ReLeaf and iByte.
The Future of Energy Is Beautiful
First up: Energy ReLeaf, a company on a mission to make solar sexy.
Forget bulky rooftop panels, Energy ReLeaf is redefining sustainable architecture with BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaics) that double as sleek, modern cladding. Their standout tech? The Exodus micro inverter, a next-gen solar innovation designed for maximum efficiency, aesthetics, and cost savings. It’s not just about going green — it’s about elevating energy-conscious design from the ground up.
Founded by a team of visionaries with decades in solar and building innovation, Energy ReLeaf is tapping into the booming eco-construction market and flipping the switch on what’s possible. The Titans were impressed, not just by the tech but by the cooperative business model that empowers local contractors to scale green energy access from the community up.
“The future of energy is about empowerment, both environmental and economic,” said Titan Jayson Waller, a clean energy expert himself. “Energy ReLeaf gets that.”
A Wearable That Could Save Lives
Then came iByte, and the room changed.
Inventor, founder, and retired dentist Nicholas Fratantonio introduced his self-charging, wearable device with a mission to protect the most vulnerable among us. iByte is a tiny, discreet, semi-permanent chip that offers real-time location tracking, health monitoring, and, most critically, peace of mind for families of children, elderly individuals, and even pets.
But this isn’t your average wearable. The technology was developed to combat child abduction and human trafficking, giving guardians a tool that’s virtually tamper-proof and seamlessly integrated with existing safety infrastructure.
Fratantonio, who pitched to Shark Tank, shared that iByte is seeking $5 million to scale production and save lives on a global scale. The emotional resonance wasn’t lost on the Titans.
“When you connect innovation to impact at this level, it’s impossible not to take notice,” said David Meltzer, entrepreneur, speaker, and longtime advocate for using business as a force for good.
“This could literally be the kind of tech that keeps families together,” added Titan Rory Cutaia, founder of VERB Technology and creator of Go Fund Yourself.
Why Go Fund Yourself is the Show to Watch
If you’re not watching Go Fund Yourself yet, you’re missing out.
More than a pitch show, Go Fund Yourself blends reality TV, real-world investing, and genuine mentorship into one high-stakes spotlight. Each week, entrepreneurs get to pitch their product to a panel of Titans who bring not just capital, but community, connections, and candid advice.
This isn’t about quick deals or buzzy catchphrases. It’s about elevating real founders with real missions and giving them a shot to make it big.
“Our goal is to give entrepreneurs the visibility and feedback they need to make it — on their terms,” said Rory Cutaia.
As Season 2 builds momentum, Go Fund Yourself continues to prove that the next big idea might not come from Silicon Valley — it could come from your neighborhood roofer, a concerned parent, or a first-time founder with an unshakable dream. Wefunder campaigns for both companies are now live! Check out Energy ReLeaf here and iByte here.
