  • Pstryk

    Led · Series A · Jul 2026

    Founded in 2024, Pstryk develops a technology platform and mobile app that lets households see real-time hourly electricity prices and receive bills calculated according to market rates. The platform is designed to help consumers manage consumption and costs and to enable households to participate more actively in the energy market. Pstryk integrates dynamic pricing with home energy technologies such as rooftop solar, heat pumps, battery storage and electric vehicles. The company aims to shift traditional consumption models toward a more flexible system by providing visibility into prices and usage. Financially, Pstryk has raised nearly €13.8 million to date, including the recent €7 million Series A, and plans to use the funds to develop its product, scale operations across Poland and grow its team.

  • Gridcare

    Participated · Series A · May 2026

    GridCARE develops the Energize platform, which uses physics-based AI models to evaluate grid conditions—congestion, outages, weather, and demand fluctuations—in real time to locate underutilized power capacity. The company positions this approach as a way to shorten interconnection timelines for large data centers and AI facilities from years to months by unlocking existing grid capacity. GridCARE reports active projects across more than a dozen markets representing over 2 gigawatts of prospective AI compute capacity and cites a Portland General Electric collaboration that identified a pathway to unlock more than 400 megawatts with 80 megawatts expected online in 2026. Co-founder and CTO Ram Rajagopal is a Stanford professor on leave, and the company emphasizes working collaboratively with utilities. GridCARE frames the market opportunity around a “Time-to-Energize Crisis,” arguing power availability is a growing bottleneck for AI expansion. Financially, the company recently raised a $64 million Series A in an oversubscribed round that materially increased its valuation versus a round less than a year earlier.

  • Reel Energy

    Led · Series A · May 2026

    Reel offers a commercial model built around long-term PPAs to provide predictable power prices for corporate buyers and reliable revenue streams for renewable generators. The company augments PPAs with algorithmic trading across multiple electricity markets and optimizes batteries to maximize merchant revenues. Those trading revenues are used to finance new renewable projects, supporting project economics. Reel serves customers across industries including industry, real estate, media and hospitality and already partners with German generators such as Blue Elephant Energy and greenwind. With the newly raised Series A, Reel plans to scale its Denmark-proven model into Germany and build a dedicated sales organization by the end of 2026. Investors view the company’s ability to connect the economic interests of different market participants as key to its growth in volatile markets.

  • enspired

    Participated · Series B · Oct 2025

    Enspired operates a fully automated, in-house trading platform that simultaneously optimises batteries and other flexible power assets across wholesale, control reserve and ancillary service markets. Its core value proposition is to monetise asset flexibility quickly, reducing time-to-market for BESS owners while maximising revenue opportunities in Europe’s short-term power markets. Over the past 12 months the company entered six new European markets and now manages more than 1 GW of BESS capacity, underscoring rapid growth and scale. Management positions the platform’s AI capabilities as a critical lever to accelerate the global energy transition and alleviate bottlenecks created by rising renewable penetration. Certified revenue disclosures have been published to demonstrate commercial leadership, though absolute figures were not provided. Looking ahead, Enspired plans to extend its multi-market optimisation model into Asia and the United States, beginning with a partnership with Banpu NEXT in Japan. The newly secured funding will finance continued product innovation, geographic expansion and the rollout of additional AI-powered use cases.

  • feld.energy

    Participated · Seed · Sep 2025

    feld.energy is a Germany-based agricultural photovoltaics (Agri-PV) company that designs and installs modular, machine-friendly solar arrays for arable fields, pastures, and speciality crops. Operating end-to-end—from feasibility studies through construction—it enables dual land use without compromising agricultural output. Through a lease model, participating farms can earn more than €100,000 over 20 years while continuing normal farming operations. The approach is intended to bolster farm income, reduce water use, and advance Germany’s transition toward its 2050 target of roughly 60 % renewable energy in gross final consumption. Fraunhofer ISE estimates a technical Agri-PV potential of 2,900 GW nationwide, underscoring the scale of the opportunity. With new funding, feld.energy plans to expand its team, accelerate deployment, and make dual-use farmland the norm.
