London-based startup Zendo Energy has secured €2.07 million in pre-Seed funding to develop an 'Energy OS' platform for data centers to adapt to AI workloads and volatile energy markets.
The funding round was led by Fly Ventures, with participation from Octopus Ventures, Pact VC, and angel investors from the data center industry.
Zendo Energy aims to help data centers become more efficient and ready for the future of computing demand by offering predictive analytics and flexible energy solutions.
Founded in 2024 by Jade Batstone and Drew Barrett, Zendo brings over two decades of experience in renewable energy and B2B software to the data center industry.
The platform by Zendo Energy can save data centers up to 25% in energy costs and simplify the integration of renewable energy sources into their power mix.
