Job description & requirements

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.

Where we are
