Company
Kapacity.io
Reducing energy costs & emissions in buildings
We build an electricity Load Balancing service aimed at buildings. Our software manages and shifts electricity consumption across building energy systems to reduce costs and emissions. By coordinating energy use when demand and prices fluctuate, we help property owners participate in smart energy grids and avoid inefficient peak consumption.
We live and work in Helsinki, Finland. After YC, we plan to keep the company based in Helsinki.
We are based in Helsinki because that's where the team lives and the initial market for energy management in buildings is here. The founders have local knowledge and connections to the energy sector in Finland, which helps us build and pilot our product effectively.
