About Us

Hi, we are Tim Fu and Nancy Sun. We are the founders of Bootbox Labs.  

Our mission is to electrify the HVAC industry. We’re starting with bootbox, the world’s first compact, climate-neutral heat pump. 

Tim has 10+ years of HVAC and Energy Engineering experience. He started his career at JB&B, a consulting engineering firm in NYC, designing buildings like the One Bryant Park and the new World Trade Center.  Since then, he's worked at a number of SaaS companies in the energy industry such as Opower, FirstFuel, and Uplight, and founded a couple companies of his own.

Nancy has worked in a number of industries and has spent the last dozen years in electrifying and automating transportation as a Hardware and Software Engineering Leader. Most recently she was a founder at Ike, a self-driving truck company that was acquired last year. 

Tim and Nancy have known each other for quite a while and have been talking about this project for the last 5 years. We’ve finally found the time and space to work on this together and are excited to do so.
