Pillsbury served as counsel to Quino Energy, a California-based clean-tech startup company, in a $3.3 million seed financing round led by ANRI, a Tokyo-based early-stage venture capital firm.

In an effort to facilitate the acceptance of intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, Quino Energy develops redox-flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage—offering an affordable, reliable and nonflammable battery.

In addition to the recent funding round, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected Quino Energy to receive $4.58 million in “nondilutive” funding from the DOE Advanced Manufacturing Office.

The Silicon Valley-based Pillsbury team included Corporate partner Christina Pearson, associate Grace Lee and Adam Perry.
