Haven Energy is a Los Angeles-based energy technology company that aggregates battery-based distributed energy resources (DERs) across residential and small commercial & industrial sites to build large-scale virtual power plants (VPPs). Its platform installs and manages behind-the-meter storage that can be dispatched to support grid stability and utility-run demand response programs. To date, Haven has installed more than 10 MW of distributed capacity and has over 50 MW slated for development in 2026, underpinning a project pipeline valued at more than $75 million. Existing utility and community choice aggregator partners include EPRI, Clean Power Alliance, San Jose Clean Energy, Clean Energy Alliance, and Peninsula Clean Energy. The company plans to deepen these partnerships while expanding a leasing model and Channel Partner Program targeting local installers. Proceeds from the latest financing will help accelerate these initiatives and scale its VPP footprint nationwide.

Getmobil integrates all steps of the second-hand and refurbished electronics value chain—purchase, refurbishment, pricing, inventory tracking and regulatory compliance—into a single digital operating system. Founded by Mehmet Uygun and Zeynep Uygun, the company serves more than 32,000 mobile phone dealers across Turkey, enabling data-driven pricing and stock management. Dealers using Getmobil’s infrastructure have reported approximately 60% revenue growth and a 50% increase in inventory turnover. The platform also powers trade-in and refurbishment programs for major brands such as Apple, Samsung, Hepsiburada, Sahibinden, Troy and Vatan, making certified devices available to consumers. Turkey’s second-hand electronics market is estimated at roughly $8 billion and has recently gained clearer regulatory backing, which Getmobil leverages to standardize an otherwise fragmented space. Post-financing, the company plans to roll out a nationwide “doorstep buyback” model that lets consumers sell devices from home with digital payments. The fresh capital strengthens Getmobil’s balance sheet as it scales both its dealer network and direct-to-consumer services.
