| Odyssey is at the center of one of the biggest economic and climate opportunities of our lifetime: the clean energy transition in emerging markets, where aging/weak grids, favorable policies, and high diesel costs are making distributed renewable energy systems THE energy infrastructure of the future. Odyssey provides financiers and renewableenergy project developers with leading-edge technologies and a data-driven software platform to aggregate and scale investment in distributed renewable energy. (DRE)Odyssey is the only end-to-end platform to scale project development across all phases: planning, financing, procuring, and operating projects. Our solutions solve the key challenges facing the distributed renewable energy industry in emerging markets:Planning + Finance Solutions: Financiers lack the information to navigate the investment landscape in many countries that most need their support. By leveraging our network of 2000+ renewable energy companies, we are helping private and concessional financiers access projects that were previously inaccessible. We have $1.3 billion of financing for distributed renewable energy projects on the platform and a pipeline of more than US$785 million in active discussions with concessional and commercial financiers. We also offer advanced software tools to efficiently plan projects, aggregate portfolios and streamline diligence between developers and investors.Procurement Solutions: Smaller renewable energy companies can’t access economies of scale pricing and terms when buying equipment. By aggregating their orders and connecting them with financing that would otherwise be out of reach, we help developers access equipment more quickly, reliably, and at better prices.Monitoring & Control Solutions: As renewable energy companies scale their operations, ensuring they are performing reliably and optimally is a challenge. We offer hardware and software to make it easy to spot any issues, remotely control components, as well as provide data back to investors about portfolio performance in the form of customized dashboards for commercial, financial, operational, and impact metrics. | $27M / Venture - Series Unknown / Sep 01, 2026 | ||
