The platform covers the entire lifecycle of a storage system – from sizing and profitability simulation (virtual battery/digital twin) through real‑time optimisation and automated energy trading. - **Primary industry**: Energy software / Battery storage / Cleantech - **Target customers**: B2B – project developers, installers, energy suppliers, municipal utilities, and industrial operators - **Mission**: Turn energy volatility into a competitive advantage for European industry by making every battery storage system operate at maximum economic potential. ## Products & Services - **Design Software**: Sizes the optimal storage configuration and calculates profitability in minutes using load profiles and location data. Generates customer‑ready documents. - **Virtual Battery & EMS (Energy Management System)**: A digital twin of the storage project that simulates expected revenues before installation and seamlessly transitions to live operation after commissioning. - **Flexibility Marketing**: Automatically detects unused capacity and markets it on wholesale energy markets (spot market arbitrage, atypical grid usage, dynamic tariffs) – even for systems below 1 MW. - **Multi‑Use Optimisation**: Combines self‑consumption maximisation, peak shaving, spot trading, and grid services in a continuously learning AI that adapts to weather, prices, and consumption patterns. ## Market Standing - **Valuation / Funding**: Not publicly disclosed (private startup with paying customers). - **Key Metric**: Over 3,500 industrial sites are already being planned or optimised on the platform; ~100 paying customers and >600 companies registered. - **Notable Partners**: Enpal, Sonnen (Shell), Fenecon, BayWa, Segen, IBC Solar, badenova. - **Growth Signals**: Launched the first complete operational solution combining planning and real‑time operation (May 2026). Active in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Spain. Claims to reduce payback periods from 15 years to 5 years and increase economic potential by up to 40%. ## Competitive Advantages - **Hardware‑agnostic**: Compatible with all common battery technologies – vendor lock‑in avoided. - **First to unify planning and real‑time operation**: No other system on the market combines sizing, forecasting, multi‑use optimisation, and automated trading in one platform for C&I storage from 150 kW. - **AI‑driven forecasting & learning**: Uses price, weather, and consumption predictions that continuously improve – replaces static, rule‑based controls. - **Virtual Battery**: Enables operators to model revenue before any hardware is installed, reducing investment risk. ## Strategic Focus - Become the central energy flexibility platform for European industry by coordinating all stakeholders (OEMs, project developers, industrial customers, utilities) on one system. - Expand geographic presence beyond DACH and Spain into additional European markets. - Continue product development to serve both small industrial sites (≥100 kW behind‑the‑meter) and larger facilities (>3 MW). ## Why Work Here - **Mission‑driven team**: Founded by engineers and consultants from Apple, Google X, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and BCG who returned to Europe to tackle the energy transition. - **High growth trajectory**: Young company (founded 2025) already with hundreds of customers and rapid product expansion – opportunity to shape the future of industrial energy. - **Cutting‑edge tech stack**: AI, digital twins, real‑time optimisation, and energy trading – work on a platform that directly impacts carbon reduction and industrial competitiveness. - **Collaborative culture**: Small, focused team with backgrounds in top tech and consulting firms; offices in Munich (remote/hybrid policy not specified – check careers page for current openings). ## Sources 1.
