Dear LinkedIn Network,
Exciting news on the horizon! I'm thrilled to share that I have joined Ruben & Lukas as Chief Growth Officer at Comgy.
Since 2017, the team has been on a mission to tackle one of the trickiest parts of the climate puzzle: making buildings climate-neutral through energy data. Buildings contribute a staggering ~35% of CO2 emissions, yet they're notoriously difficult to improve.
Comgy's solution? An energy data platform where building owners and managers can access granular, validated, and real-time consumption data (i.e. electricity, heating, and water) from their entire portfolio. Today, many of Europe's largest real estate companies already use Comgy to automate their ESG reporting, leverage decarbonization potential, and meet regulatory obligations, and we want to ensure that many more join in the future.
Comgy faced a rough period when its Series C funding unexpectedly fell through last year, resulting in insolvency. However, key assets, clients, and team members were retained and transitioned into a new entity, and the restructuring has allowed us to sharpen our focus on software and data aggregation.
The decision was an easy one for me. The scale and importance of the problem we're addressing, coupled with the impressive product and strong market fit, make it a no-brainer. The cherry on top: I have known Ruben and Lukas for a few years through a shared investor.
If you manage large real estate portfolios, know someone who does, or can think of anyone else at the intersection of energy and real estate that I should speak to, please let me know :-)
