Founder Story

Throughout my thirteen years in the industry, I recognized a pattern that there was a lack of visibility into the problems utilities need help solving. I founded Haystack to inform all stakeholders serving the utility industry and to ultimately enable utilities to deliver safer, more reliable, cleaner, and more affordable energy and water to their customers.
   -Reece Thompson, Founder & CEO Haystack

Our Mission

Our mission is to connect people, solutions, and problems to be solved in the electric, gas, and water utility industry.

Our goal is to help sales and marketing teams find problems that utility companies need to solve faster, speed up the early stages of the sales process, and to be better aware of what is happening across the industry as a whole. 

Our Vision

Our vision is to build a place where people in the utility industry with problems to be solved and solutions to solve them can find each other. Our aim is to remove any friction in connecting people, technology, and problems to be solved so all stakeholders can focus on enabling utilities to provide safer, more reliable, cleaner, and affordable energy and water to their customers.
