Approximately 40% of the total energy consumption in Denmark is spent on keeping buildings heated and hundreds of thousands of Danish private houses have poor energy efficiency and still using oil burners and natural gas furnaces. The potential market for changing heating installations and improving energy efficiency in private homes – in Denmark alone – is probably much more than 150 bill. DKK – and most importantly – several million tons of CO2 reduction.

The job role

We are looking for a co-founder to join our energy team of 5 people, who has a big interest in climate and energy – and preferably some knowledge of the market for energy and heating installations - and building insulation.

Our current status

This corporate also provides deep knowledge in parts of the total problem, huge distribution potential and great people to the team. Together we’ve been through market discovery and initial Think Big activities and are now identifying several concept ideas, that we will spend the coming months validating and bringing to market. The target is to launch a new venture around Summertime.
