EVmatch is a California-based cleantech company that builds software and services to make electric-vehicle charging affordable, shared, and reservable - especially for the hardest places to electrify, like apartment complexes, condos, and commercial properties. Founded out of a UC Santa Barbara master's thesis, the company began as a peer-to-peer marketplace letting home charger owners rent out their stations and has grown into a full EV charging management platform that pairs reservation software, load management, and rebate-navigation services so property owners can deploy charging without straining budgets.

Andreas Wallendahl is a co-founder and COO of Tenet, a New York fintech that makes electric-vehicle ownership cheaper by rewiring how EV loans get made. An MIT-trained engineer and former McKinsey consultant who helped build businesses inside Ethereum studio ConsenSys, he now partners with credit unions, green banks and asset managers to originate lower-cost EV financing, and bundles free smart-charging so customers save while they drive. Tenet has raised roughly $73 million in equity plus more than $100 million in committed loan funding.
