We tend to think in principles, or building blocks, for an inevitable future. The supply and management of energy are a core component of economic activity and one that is facing a lot of change, in Europe and beyond. The green transformation, complexities in purchasing, optimization pressures, price volatilities or the need for data transparency create an almost perfect storm that our economies and their actors are looking into. At the same time, this feels like a serious innovation moment for the user experience and understanding of energy supply. Energy is becoming programmable and the networks that emerge are explosive.

The time has come for a new generation B2B energy platform: trawa. Trawa uses technology to bring procurement, management and flexibilization of energy to where it should be, full stack. The company’s products provide SMEs with the tools to structure and secure renewable energy purchases, on the basis of technology. Trawa’s solutions unbundle the energy experience, thus customizing and optimizing it – this is what a state-of-the-art UX should deliver. On top, trawa turns energy into a measurable, programmable and manageable unit, it modularizes a core piece of SMB procurement. The result is data and transparency that did not exist before.

For us, this is an inevitable progress in a core industry – precisely matching our investment focus in and for critical industries. We have been working closely with the team since leading their first institutional rounds. The results have been impressive and we are now happy to double down and welcome the new investors on that journey.
