地热面板初创公司完成130万瑞士法郎的种子融资轮

Enerdrape,一家总部位于瑞士沃州的初创公司,致力于开拓预制地热面板技术,刚刚完成了130万瑞士法郎(约合150万美元)的种子轮融资。瑞士投资者,包括通过GeneRActions Planet倡议的Après-demain和Romande Energie领导了这一轮种子融资,与enerdrape对可持续未来的愿景保持一致。

由Margaux Peltier、Dr. Alessandro Rotta Loria和Lyesse Laloui教授创立,enerdrape已经开发出了预制地热面板技术,可以将地下结构(如车库或隧道)转化为可再生的热能和制冷能源,无需进行钻探。这些面板是模块化、薄、柔韧,由可回收材料制成,并与热泵兼容。

“这130万瑞士法郎的注资证明了我们的投资者对enerdrape使命和潜力的信心。这将推动公司扩大业务、增强产品供应,并通过引入新人才来强化团队。这不仅提升了我们种子轮融资的成功,也为我们A轮融资之旅中即将到来的激动人心的可能性打开了大门,” enerdrape的首席执行官兼联合创始人Margaux Peltier表示。

额外的资本注入将用于加强enerdrape的产品开发工作,并为现有团队的战略增强做出贡献。这一融资里程碑将使公司的总筹资超过200万瑞士法郎,此前enerdrape在2022年成功获得了来自瑞士气候基金会和Fondation pour l’Innovation et la Technologie(FIT)等知名组织的50万瑞士法郎支持,并通过Venture和PERL奖项获得了赞誉。

“对enerdrape的投资加强了我们通过GeneRActions Planet对能源转型的承诺。凭借其创新的地热面板技术,enerdrape有可能彻底改变能源行业,我们祝贺Margaux的颠覆性发明,” Après-demain SA总裁兼股东Thierry Mauvernay评论道。

“我们从enerdrape创立初期就开始关注这家初创公司,对这种与Romande Energie提出的去碳化该地区的能源高效解决方案完美契合的地热能源形式非常感兴趣,” Romande Energie的风险投资负责人Paolo Pizzolato补充道。

Romande Energie还参与了瑞士多个地区的地热勘探工作,如洛桑莱芒湖拉韦莱-莱-班

Geothermal panel startup closes CHF1.3 million seed financing round

Enerdrape, a startup based in Vaud, Switzerland pioneering pre-fabricated geothermal panel technology, has just concluded a CHF 1.3 million (approx. UD 1.5 million) seed financing round. Swiss investors, including Après-demain through the initiative GeneRActions Planet and Romande Energie led the seed round, aligning themselves with enerdrape’s vision for a sustainable future.

Founded by Margaux Peltier, Dr. Alessandro Rotta Loria, and Prof. Lyesse Laloui, enerdrape has developed the technology for pre-fabricated geothermal panels that can turn underground structures, such as garages or tunnels, into renewable sources of thermal energy for heat and cooling without drilling. The panels are modular, thin, flexible, made of recyclable materials, and compatible with heat pumps.

“This CHF 1.3 million injection is a testament to the confidence our investors place in enerdrape’s mission and potential. It propels the company to scale operations, enhance product offerings, and strengthen the team with new talents. This not only enhances the success of our seed round but also opens doors to the exciting possibilities that lie ahead in our Series A journey,” said Margaux Peltier, CEO & Co-Founder of enerdrape.

The additional capital injection is earmarked to fortify enerdrape’s product development efforts and contribute to strategic enhancements within the existing team. This funding milestone propels the company’s total fundraising past the CHF 2 million, following a successful 2022, during which enerdrape secured CHF 500’000 in support from respected organizations such as the Swiss Climate Foundation and Fondation pour l’Innovation et la Technologie (FIT), and accolades through the >>Venture>> and PERL awards.

“The investment in enerdrape strengthens our commitment to energy transition through GeneRActions Planet. With its innovative geothermal panel technology, enerdrape has the potential to revolutionize the energy sector, and we congratulate Margaux on her disruptive invention,” commented Thierry Mauvernay, President and Shareholder of Apres-demain SA.

“We have been following the start-up since its early days, highly interested in this form of geothermal energy that aligns perfectly with the deployment of energy-efficient solutions that Romande Energie is proposing to decarbonize the region,” added Paolo Pizzolato, Head of Venture Capital at Romande Energie.

Romande Energie is also involved in geothermal exploration efforts in several parts of Switzerland such as in Lausanne, Lac Leman, and Lavey-les-Bains.
