Jessica O. Matthews is the creator of Soccket — the soccer ball that develops power through kinetic energy. Jessica had a vision while traveling to visit family in Nigeria that she used to create what she calls her 
“Anti-Silicon Valley” startup named Uncharted Power. Using her intellectual property rights to kinetic energy products Matthews used her initial capital to expand her toy product line. But she realized something bigger could come of her inventions. After unveiling her new power-generating products, Matthews told Forbes that she has been in communication with Disney to develop full-scale energy production in “light poverty” areas.
Matthews also talks about her experience as a female CEO and her “Anti-Silicon Valley” Energy Company. She talks about strategic location. Matthews says that she originally had Uncharted Power’s headquarters located in downtown Manhattan, but considering relations with lower incoming areas she moved her headquarters uptown to Harlem. 
Matthews, interestingly, noted that not only people matter but you matter. She gives her experience, or lack thereof, in the energy sector following her re-brand to Uncharted Power. Matthews says that she tried and failed to bring in experts in the field, that even though experts say they are “experts,” for her they did not get what she wanted done. After an overhaul of management and taking the reign herself, she says that less is more. Currently employing 17 people and 17 serving as advisers, Uncharted Power is working to accomplish great things for those who do not have clean energy.
