South African Clean-Tech Startup Plentify Secures Oversubscribed Funding to Expand Smart Energy Solutions
South African clean-tech startup, Plentify, has successfully concluded an oversubscribed funding round, securing investment from prominent African and North American venture capitalists.
This financial boost will fuel the company’s expansion within South Africa and lay the groundwork for its international operations.
Plentify specializes in developing innovative smart energy solutions that make clean and affordable electricity accessible to all.
The company has created a suite of products that optimize energy consumption in homes through advanced hardware, artificial intelligence, and user-centric design.
The startup’s technology seamlessly integrates with household appliances, enabling them to operate during periods of peak energy generation while minimizing consumption during times of strain.
This approach not only reduces electricity bills but also contributes to a more sustainable energy grid.
“Our solution addresses a critical challenge faced by countries worldwide: the imbalance between energy demand and clean energy supply,” said Jon Kornik, co-founder, and CEO of Plentify.
The funding round attracted participation from both existing and new investors, including Third Sphere, TELUS Pollinator Fund for Good, Susquehanna Foundation, and Fireball Capital.
“Plentify’s groundbreaking technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we consume energy,” said Paras Patel, managing partner of E3 Capital. “We are thrilled to support a team that is committed to addressing pressing energy challenges through innovative and sustainable solutions.”
