Zeigo is an innovative energy tech platform that connects corporate energy buyers with renewable energy generators and suppliers. It provides access, transparency and data insights, allowing customers to access the market and build a business case. In the current situation with Covid-19, where work has shifted mostly on to the digital space, platforms like Zeigo will make it easier for corporate to become visible on local clean energy markets and connect with generators without the need to be ‘on the ground’.

“As a young and disruptive startup, we are thrilled to have garnered support from a strong network of energy and technology investors who recognise Zeigo’s early achievements and our future business strategy” said Zeigo’s founder & CEO Juan Pablo Cerda. “We’re really proud to have the support of global investors from sustainability, energy and technology fields. This demonstrates that the real market opportunity is to become a scalable tech platform which can deliver a comprehensive renewable energy solution to our clients – corporate energy buyers and renewable generators.”

Zeigo has also attracted a second round of investment from new and existing angel investors including Green Angel Syndicate, a London syndicate investing in the Green Economy, ClearlySo - Europe’s leading impact investment bank, the Syndicate Room - a UK online equity investment platform and Earlymarket - a family office with an investment arm dedicated to early-stage technology start-ups.

Peter Gutman, an active individual investor in the energy sector and an advisor to Blue Bear Capital, a leading digital energy venture firm, has also become a shareholder, as is Paul Massara, ex-CEO of N Power, who recently joined Zeigo’s Board.
