‘We are excited to announce that we have raised $3m in investment that will enable us to take our EV fleet management platform into a new phase.   Our fleet operator clients use ZeroMission as a single platform wherever they are on the journey to transition to electric vehicles. While the majority of existing fleet operators plan to continue electrifying their fleets, we know that more than 80% are curtailed by an absence of integrated systems to manage daily operations and smart tools to plan and transition their fleets. These missing parts are what we provide for our customers and today’s announcement will enable us to expand our client base significantly.”   Thanks to our investors, new and existing, and to all those who support our mission!” Read more https://lnkd.in/dfmsEdiF #zeroemission #fleetmanagement #zeromission #evsmarttools #evvehicleefficiency #evfleetsolutions  #electricbus #electrictruck #deltapartners #greencodeventures #vireoventures #conenergy #decarbonisation Leah O'Dwyer Kevin Christopher Amy Neale Delta Partners VC Manuel Heckmann Karin Henriksson Paul Jervis Anil Kishoendajal Christopher Burghardt Dr. Terhi (TJ) Vapola Greencode Ventures Felix Krause Vireo Ventures @

Transaera, Inc. just locked down $10.5M to blow the AC game wide open. Yeah, you read that right. Clean Energy Ventures, Energy Impact Partners, and MassMutual Ventures are all in on the Somerville startup that’s doing what nobody thought was possible: slicing AC energy consumption by a massive 40%. And it’s not some tweak—it’s an overhaul. Props to Sorin Grama and Matthew Dorson, the brains behind Transaera, for pulling this off. Here’s the deal: we’re talking solid desiccants, optimized heat use, and a system that basically doubles the efficiency of anything your old-school AC could dream of. And for a $100B+ global market, where cooling eats up 10% of the world’s electricity? That’s no small claim. Transaera’s tech is stepping into some serious territory, where it’s not just about comfort—it’s about flipping the whole HVAC industry’s carbon footprint. And these guys aren’t here to play it small. This is tech that scales. Think of it on everything from cars to the rooftops of skyscrapers, and in the 2.5 billion tropical households that could finally get real AC. With Carrier HVAC Ventures and Saint-Gobain already taking notice, you know it’s got teeth. So here’s the real question we should all be asking: Is Transaera about to rewrite the script on how we cool the world? The next few years are gonna be wild, and if they pull this off, sustainable cooling’s got its next-gen leader. #HVAC #AC #CoolingTech #Innovation #Technology #StartupFunding #VentureCapital #CleanEnergy #CarbonFootprint #TechEcosystem #StartupEcosystem
