Norwegian climatetech startup Installer has raised $4 million in Seed funding in a round led by Brighteye Ventures, alongside PT1, Futurum, and Sondo.
Founded by Kristoffer Gjerde, Thomas Kristiansen, and Gunnar Windsand Sem in 2022, Installer is building Shopify for the renewable asset supply chain.
Whilst many companies are busy inventing the next ground-breaking EV charger, battery or heat pump, over 70 per cent of customers consider installation a crucial part of their product experience.
Installer optimises the complex, labour-intensive installation and maintenance process via a data-driven, AI-enhanced platform that matches jobs with installer companies.
As a backend infrastructure, it powers collaboration by integrating smart job dispatch, tailored processes, and a digital, white-labelled end-customer experience.
The in-platform AI reduces the workload for installers and ensures they receive the proper training to handle renewable assets well.
"Our mission is to speed up the deployment of renewable technologies by eliminating hurdles," says Installer CEO Gunnar W Sem.
"We provide companies with instant access to skilled installers, allowing them to scale fast and cost-efficiently."
Operating in stealth mode until now, Installer has partnerships with industry leaders across 21 markets — for example partnering with Easee, Europe's top home EV charging solutions provider; Sungrow, a $10 billion global leader in photovoltaic systems, batteries, and EV charging; Coop, Norway's largest heat pump provider, installing over 10,000 units annually; and Tibber, a major European energy provider and renewable hardware innovator.
"Our goal is to become the leading platform for installer collaboration," says Sem.
"By partnering with other amazing companies that produce and sell innovative products, we can collectively push these technologies to reach consumers more efficiently."
With fresh funding and a dedicated team, Installer plans to expand its presence in key European markets, including Scandinavia, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and France.
The company is also gearing up to establish traction in the US over the next 12 to 18 months.
