Testimonials
GreenFlux
Floris van den Broek & Jan-Joost van Dam, resp. CEO & COO/CFO
Eneco Ventures invested in GreenFlux in summer 2018 as part of the Funding round B. Eneco Ventures supported and shared their expertise to prepare the next steps for GreenFlux: scale the business and grow internationally by following a clear and focused strategy. This really boosted the presence of GreenFlux in the market by becoming the Platform (SaaS) provider for major players from several industries. GreenFlux' recurring revenues exploded as well and eventually this resulted in a successful exit in June 2021, becoming part of DKV and geared up to continue the growth. Without the dedication, knowledge and financial support of Eneco Ventures, this would not have been possible and we are thankful for their professionalism throughout the years!
Thermondo GmbH
Philipp A. Pausder, Founder & CEO Eneco invested in Thermondo in Summer 2017 and was a shareholder until early 2021. The people at Eneco are simply put great people and fun to work with. Always approachable, always supportive. That combined with a no politics attitude and deep sector expertise made Eneco the right investor supporting us on our journey from an early stage start-up to a professionalized growth company.
Energie in Huis
Niels Bartels, CEO Eneco Ventures invested in Energie in Huis and introduced us to other parts of Eneco. We closely collaborate with the consumer organisation which provides for extra customers and knowhow on ‘state of the art’ marketing. Together with Eneco data scientists we jointly work on new product development by combining data insights. Eneco HSSEQ enabled us to accelerate the further professionalisation of the quality and safety control system. Maintaining independence is a recurring point of attention with so much synergies, but the choice for a corporate VC turns out to be an excellent fit with Energie in Huis.
Next Kraftwerke
Hendrik and Jochen Eneco convinced us as a professional investor with deep expertise to invest in our company in 2017. For Next Kraftwerke, Eneco was the perfect investor for the growth phase and the first steps towards internationalization. We have tripled the marketed capacity and sales since Eneco's entry.
