About the company
This company is a scale-up tackling a major problem in our energy transition: energy storage. There are many ways to raise sustainable energy from solar and wind throughout the world, but storing this instead of supplying it to the grid is a challenge. By combining battery systems from electric vehicles that otherwise would’ve had to be rejected, this company is making energy storage on an industrial scale, and they do it all in-house. Being in this industry is reflected in their growth, more than doubling revenues year-over-year, only being slowed down by their capacity to keep up with orders. Now we just need someone to help streamline the development and ensure their growth continues sustainably.
