Enera builds an AI-native operational infrastructure suite for electric vehicle charging networks that includes a Control Room data-ingestion engine and automated white-labeled helpline agents. The Control Room ingests driver support calls, telemetry signals and backend logs to identify where the charging experience is breaking down at scale. Bespoke AI Support Agents are then deployed to take helpline calls, troubleshoot live telemetry anomalies, proactively monitor the network and reach out to drivers before issues arise. The company offers 24/7 instant technical support to drivers and aims to reduce failed charging sessions. Enera is led by co-founders Nicholas Marquardt (CEO) and Arnaldo Vera and operates from London and Barcelona. Following its $2M Pre-Seed raise, the company plans to expand active pilots with UK CPOs and accelerate broader European expansion.

Thea Energy builds pixel-inspired rectangular magnets and software to generate and fine-tune stellarator magnetic fields, using many smaller planar coils to shape plasma confinement. The company says its approach lets software control arrays of regular magnets to create complex stellarator fields, and it has built dozens of full-scale magnet iterations in its Jersey City lab. Thea originally spun out of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and has iterated its design to include a set of larger magnets alongside more than 300 smaller coils that fine-tune the plasma. With $130 million in total private funding after the new Series B, Thea is scaling magnet manufacturing and plans to begin construction of its Eos demonstration reactor next year. The company aims to complete Eos by 2030 and bring a commercial device, Helios, online in 2034.

Founded in 2022 by Cambridge-trained researchers Ben Woodington and Elise Jenkins, San Francisco–based Coherence Neuro decodes the body’s electrical patterns to understand and correct disease states. Its flagship device, SOMA-1, continually records neural activity and delivers precise stimulation, creating a bi-directional, closed-loop therapy that aims to nudge tumorous tissue back toward healthy function. Each deployed device feeds data into what the company calls the world’s largest disease-focused dataset, allowing the system to learn and improve with every patient. Coherence frames cancer as a system-level error rather than an external invader, seeking to replace aggressive treatments like surgery and chemotherapy with continuous, gentler neuromodulation. The company plans to begin first-in-human trials next year, using its newly secured capital to validate safety and efficacy. To date, it has raised a $10 million seed round to fund these efforts and further develop its data-driven platform.

PHNX Materials has developed a process to strip sulfur and aluminum from coal fly ash pulled from landfills so the ash can be used as a cement substitute in concrete mixes. By prepping low‑quality ash, PHNX aims to unlock a larger supply of fly ash for concrete makers, who can use up to 30% ash to replace cement and lower carbon intensity. The company plans to sell cleaned ash to concrete producers and recover sulfur, aluminum and other compounds for sale to relevant industries; it is also exploring extraction of rare earth elements. PHNX’s approach targets material saved in the roughly 843 fly ash landfills in the U.S. and responds to shrinking ash availability after coal plant closures reduced coal’s share of U.S. electricity from 51% to 15%. The startup frames its work as a scalable way to decarbonize concrete production, noting that each ton of cement produced in the U.S. emits about 0.8 tons of CO2.
