News from within our funds: Flower⚡️🌻 ranked as Europe’s second fastest-growing climate startup by Sifted (based on the highest percentage of revenue growth). Flower’s cutting-edge software optimizes battery energy storage systems (BESS) to make the power grid smarter and greener. 💡 Why it matters? Electrification is key to slashing the 33% of global emissions tied to energy production. Without solving grid congestion, clean energy gets wasted, and climate tech progress stalls. Congrats to John Diklev, David Evholt and the whole team on the recent funding round too. And keep up the awesome growth! Flower joined our Climate Tech Portfolio Fund III via the investing experts at Giant Ventures. Are you looking to invest in fast-growing companies like Flower?
