We build software to move energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green. Think of it as the operating system for a decarbonized grid.We integrate home energy devices into electricity markets to earn consumers money. Our software controls vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We use machine learning to figure out what energy people will need, and when they'll need it. We minimize CO2 and costs, and protect the grid by limiting peak demand.We've raised &gt;$10m in funding and in our first 2 years we've connected to &gt;100k devices in the UK alone. Join us to decarbonize the grid.
