Station A
Station A is a San Francisco climate-tech company that runs a software marketplace for buying and selling clean energy. Its platform turns a building's address into a data-driven estimate of the financial return on solar, battery storage, and EV charging, then lets commercial real estate owners list projects and collect competitive bids from a network of thousands of vetted energy developers. Spun out of NRG Energy in 2018 by a team that met at MIT, Station A aims to make clean energy transactions as simple and transparent as an online marketplace, and counts large owners like Prologis, Walmart, CBRE, Nestle, and Goldman Sachs among its users.
Verse
Verse is a San Francisco climate-tech company building AI software that turns messy energy, market, and financial data into decisions organizations can actually act on. Its flagship platform, Aria, helps companies forecast Scope 2 emissions, plan and procure clean power (including PPAs), optimize on-site assets like batteries, and - increasingly - get AI data centers connected to the grid years faster. Founded in 2022 by clean-energy veterans from Fluence, Tesla and AMS, Verse raised an oversubscribed $54M Series B in June 2026 led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with GV, NVIDIA and Norrsken.
Power Kiosk
Power Kiosk is a Chicago-based SaaS company that runs a cloud-based marketplace connecting retail energy suppliers with the brokers and consultants who buy electricity and natural gas on behalf of businesses. Founded by Northwestern Ph.D. Hamed Babai, the platform pulls fragmented supplier rates, contracts, and market data into one AI-assisted workflow so brokers can quote, compare, and close deals in minutes instead of days. The company says it has managed 16,000+ customers across 34 states and provinces and returned roughly $120 million in savings.
