Q

What value does ETF Partners' investment and hands-on involvement bring?

A

ETF Partners’ investment goes beyond capital – it’s a strategic partnership that amplifies our ability to create meaningful impact. Their expertise in scaling sustainable technology, coupled with a deep understanding of ESG-driven innovation, strengthens our approach to transforming the built environment. With ETF’s support, we’re accelerating the deployment of our AI-driven platform, optimizing energy use at scale, and helping real estate owners meet rigorous sustainability targets. More than just financial backing, ETF brings invaluable industry insights, an extensive network, and a shared commitment to tackling one of the world’s most urgent challenges: reducing carbon emissions in buildings.

At Next Sense, we’re redefining the way buildings operate by harnessing AI-powered technology to decarbonise the built environment. Having ETF Partners invest in and support our mission has been invaluable. They were one of the few investors who truly recognised that people are the key to driving the energy transition. Their careful assessment of our team built trust immediately and made us align quickly in accelerating our efforts to create both a winning team and a winning product.
