Context
The problem we are tackling
Every renewable energy (ENR) and energetic performance project we’ve reviewed are profitable. But companies are still slow to invest — not because they don’t want to (nope, companies are not evil) but those investments (CAPEX) compete with core business.
So we asked :
How could "doing good" align with their needs to make sustainability decisions driven by economics.
Our solution :
By transforming those CAPEX-heavy into OPEX : we’re adapting what works in large-scale project finance (+€10M deals) structure to smaller, high-impact projects (€100k–€3M).
Think solar, batteries, HVAC — CAPEX-heavy, climate-positive, and overlooked.
By standardizing each project, we unlock capital for projects that were previously too small to fund, too complex to underwrite.
And we’re doing that through a platform dedicated to installers, companies and funders, generating financials offers instantly from their stack while automating the whole process with AI.
