Our portfolio company, FLEXECHARGE, has closed a € 5 mio. funding round 👏

As part of our new video series, Accelerace Portfolio Revisited, we start with FLEXECHARGE who have just secured a funding round from Eneco Ventures and EnBW New Ventures.

🔌 FLEXECHARGE provides solutions tailored to the operational and energy market demands of charge point operators, focusing on two key areas: high-power charging hubs, which must manage peak load challenges and grid tariff exposure, and depot charging, where optimizing energy use and implementing intelligent scheduling are crucial for running commercial fleets efficiently.

A big congratulations from the entire Accelerace team, and we can’t wait to see where they take it from here, but we have the utmost confidence in them, which is why Co-Founder, Max Brandt, has been hijacked for several founder-interviews in front of our newest companies.

The rest of the year, we will revisit our portfolio companies to see where they are now.

Podcast and panel on the same day 🎤

A big thank you to Global Startup Awards and Kim B***e for inviting our CEO Peter Torstensen on their new podcast to talk about all the work that has been done in Accelerace since its inception and Peter's thoughts about the Danish eco system! We really hope that the experience that was shared will resonate and help a few people when it premieres.

Fast forward 8 hours and once again Peter was on stage, this time to participate on a panel discussion with Rune Boye Knudsen to discuss Investment and Entrepreneurship in Uncertain Times in front of a great audience 👏

Once again, thank you for the invite to Global Startup Awards and to Ricky Thomsen for moderating the panel.

We just love when the eco system come together to share perspectives and stories - it fits right in with our philosophy: we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.

Make sure you keep an eye out for Down the Rabbit Hole podcast when it premieres.
