Zympler Raises €1.5 Million for Smarter Business Energy Management

Many businesses operate with separate energy systems, such as batteries, solar panels, and charging stations, that do not work well together. Zympler changes this by providing integrated control that maximizes the combined performance of these assets. This enables customers to make smarter use of their maximum grid connection. In addition to providing oversight and predictability, the software charges batteries when electricity is cheap, activates charging stations when the sun is shining, and ensures solar panels operate at peak efficiency. As a result, transport and logistics companies can make electric driving profitable, energy suppliers can reduce imbalance costs, and installers can deliver projects more quickly.

“With Zympler you choose simplicity within complexity. It acts like a digital Chief Energy Officer for your company,” says Tom Selten, one of Zympler’s three founders. “Every day we see companies struggling with energy challenges. Unfortunately, grid congestion will not be solved in the next ten or twenty years. Thanks to this funding, we can help more organizations regain control while accelerating the energy transition.”

Zympler is already active at more than twenty sites, ranging from R. Nagel Transport to the TU/e campus. The €1.5 million seed investment round is its largest to date. With the funding, Zympler intends to optimize more companies’ energy systems and further strengthen collaboration with energy suppliers and installers. “The Zympler team demonstrates real execution power and is technologically ahead of the market. Their behind-the-meter optimization enables electrification for companies hindered by grid congestion – an essential piece of the energy transition puzzle,” says Lotte Smit van Ditshuizen, partner at Arches Capital.

“Zympler combines technological innovation with direct societal impact. Their predictive energy management system makes the electrification of processes, transport, and real estate both feasible and profitable – exactly what we need to accelerate the energy transition,” says Arjan van den Born, Director of ROM Utrecht Region.
