Cologne-based Einklang has raised €2.2 million in fresh funding, thereby strengthening its mission to deliver battery-optimized, integrated energy solutions for Germany’s mid-sized businesses. The funding round was led by Vireo Ventures, while SI Ventures, Saxovent, Angel Invest, Heimatboost, and DnA Ventures also participated.
Einklang operates as an Energy-as-a-Service provider, and it specifically targets small and medium-sized enterprises across Germany that seek cost-efficient and resilient electricity solutions. Instead of requiring upfront capital or ongoing operational involvement, the company delivers a fully integrated system that combines intelligent energy management software, battery storage, and flexible electricity tariffs. As a result, customers gain access to lower power costs, higher energy independence, and a greater share of renewable electricity without adding complexity to their operations.
Moreover, Einklang represents a new wave of energy ecosystem spin-offs that focus on practical implementation rather than theoretical transition models. Its founding team—Lucas Jonas, Jonathan Schulte, Paul Ziche, and José Neri—brings hands-on experience from building and scaling energy ventures such as Voltfang and Impuls Energy. Consequently, this background in industrial energy systems and algorithm-driven energy trading directly shapes Einklang’s technology and market strategy.
Lucas Jonas, co-founder and CEO of Einklang, explained that mid-sized companies remain under pressure despite the broader energy transition. While policymakers often support energy-intensive industries through targeted regulations, mid-market businesses continue to face high electricity prices. According to Jonas, renewable generation itself does not cause the issue; instead, price volatility, grid fees, consumption peaks, and limited flexibility drive costs upward. Therefore, Einklang designed its solution to directly address these structural challenges.
At the same time, Jonas emphasized that the company aims to automate energy optimization without increasing operational burden. Einklang’s platform integrates electricity procurement, storage, and consumption into a single system, which allows businesses to automatically draw power when renewable supply is high and prices are low. In turn, companies can reduce peak loads, stabilize energy costs, lower grid charges, and improve long-term planning visibility. Notably, the solution is already live at manufacturing and industrial sites, and teams typically complete deployment within three months.
Following the successful funding round, Einklang plans to accelerate development of its technology platform and, simultaneously, deepen strategic partnerships across the energy ecosystem. As the company scales its battery-optimized electricity tariff model, it intends to expand rapidly across commercial and industrial customers. Looking ahead, Einklang targets deployment at 100 customer sites by 2026, thereby positioning itself as a key enabler of flexible, renewable-driven power systems for Germany’s mid-sized economy.
