Company
Overview
$78 million
Seed Funding Secured
The company rapidly expanded after securing $78 million in seed funding, maintaining financial flexibility.
  • Founded in 2022 by former Revolut executives, the company entered a post‑crisis UK market aiming to shake up energy supply.
  • They built an app‑first platform that guarantees the lowest electricity tariff, undercutting Ofgem’s price cap and refunding any difference.
  • Alongside retail supply, they invest in and manage solar and wind farms, and are pairing renewables with electrolyzers to explore green hydrogen.
  • Typical projects include tariff optimization, smart meter installation, vertical integration of renewables, and hydrogen pilot systems.
  • Their multi‑rate and Economy 7/10 tariffs complement rooftop installations, offering both peak/off‑peak benefits and behind‑the‑meter generation.
  • An unusual early move: launching with real‑time consumption tracking and renewables investment from day one, blending tech, green energy and finance.
Culture + Values
  • Quick iterations, field of learning, clear communication and strong ownership — team members see immediate impact without excessive bureaucracy
  • High expectations and accountability — people care about delivering results and are rewarded accordingly
  • Experienced and involved team with a growth mindset — openness to giving and receiving objective feedback
  • Strong compensation aligning with startup performance and leadership standards
Environment + Sustainability
18+300 MW
Renewable Capacity
Operating and maintaining solar and wind capacity in the UK with additional projects in development.
$12M/$90M
Project Zero Funding
Secured in September 2024 for a decentralized renewable energy network.
1 TW
Renewable Energy Goal
Targeting 1 terawatt renewable capacity via Project Zero.
  • Project Zero launch scheduled for 2025 including installer marketplace, retail energy and EV charging network
  • Decentralized approach rewards users via a Solana-based utility token for contributing clean energy and demand response
Inclusion & Diversity
  • No publicly disclosed DEI strategy, targets, or gender-related statistics found on website or LinkedIn
