Overview
Founders Factory builds and backs startups with exceptional entrepreneurs and the world’s leading corporates. Our Venture Studio co-founds companies from day one, turning breakthrough ideas into scalable startups. We’re launching a new venture focused on decentralised energy and climate technology in collaboration with Vonovia, Europe’s largest residential real estate company.
Voltigo makes clean energy more accessible. We’re creating a simple way for individuals, particularly renters, to benefit from solar power and lower their electricity costs. By partnering with the energy system, Voltigo brings greater transparency, portability, and affordability to the energy transition, without the need for rooftop panels or property ownership.
Voltigo taps into a multi-billion-euro opportunity—serving an underserved market with long-term user relationships and recurring revenue models based on energy usage, carbon savings, and future green lifestyle services. More in our concept deck here.
