About
WHY WE INVESTED
Company description

Inspire’s mission is to drive forward a brighter energy future by simplifying consumer adoption of clean energy and smart home technologies. Disrupting the one-size-fits-all utility model, Inspire’s groundbreaking smart home subscription seamlessly combines personalized clean energy plans with best-in-class smart devices. Using the Inspire app, members can self drive their smart homes from anywhere, and select automated settings to use less energy while earning rewards. Inspire strives to make every home a smart home, powered by clean energy.

Why solve this problem?

20% of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States come from home heating and cooling needs, and yet, much of the utility sector remains stagnant, having yet to launch into the digital era. To transform the consumer experience, and offer more choice and transparency, Inspire is disrupting the 150-year-old industry and has become the next-gen solution to help tackle the climate crisis. We created a consumer-friendly, seamless solution to tackle one of the biggest steps we can take toward saving the environment - helping to decarbonize the energy grid.
