Finland-based energy tech startup Synergi has raised €2 million in seed funding led by Greencode Ventures, with participation from Vaens and existing investors, including Lifeline Ventures, APX, and Wave Ventures. The funding will be used to expand the company’s reach into flexibility markets in Nordic and Central European countries, as well as to hire talent in engineering, sales, and marketing.
Founded by Antti Hämmäinen and Harri Iisakka, Synergi is driving the shift toward sustainable energy with its smart software platform. The Synergi platform allows households, utilities, and grid operators to optimize energy use and participate in flexibility markets. By aggregating household energy assets like electric vehicles (EVs), heat pumps, and solar panels, the platform helps balance the grid during peak hours while saving users money on energy costs.

Expansion Plans and Flexibility Market Integration
With the fresh capital, Synergi aims to expand into regions with dynamic energy contracts and smart infrastructure, such as the Nordics and Central Europe. CEO Antti Hämmäinen stated, “These regions offer open flexibility markets and optimizable energy assets, making them ideal for our platform.”
The app helps consumers automatically find the best times to use electricity, saving users up to 50% on EV charging and 20% on heating costs annually. Synergi differentiates itself by offering access to flexibility markets, regardless of a user’s electricity provider.
Meeting the Growing Need for Energy Flexibility
As Europe pushes toward decarbonization and renewable energy adoption, electricity demand is projected to rise by 60% by 2030. The company’s platform addresses this need by helping grids handle additional demand while balancing volatile renewable energy sources with flexible consumption.
