Leap Energy

Leap is an energy technology company founded in 2015 that builds software infrastructure enabling distributed energy resources to participate in wholesale electricity markets. The company's platform abstracts the complexity of connecting batteries, EV chargers, smart thermostats, and other distributed devices to the dozens of energy markets and grid programs where they can earn revenue. Leap handles the technical integrations with grid operators, market enrollment processes, telemetry requirements, and dispatch protocols so that hardware companies, aggregators, and energy service providers can focus on customer acquisition rather than market connectivity. The company serves battery manufacturers, EV charging networks, virtual power plant operators, and demand response aggregators that want to monetize flexibility assets across multiple markets without building custom integrations to each grid operator. Leap raised $32M and has expanded its market coverage to major US electricity markets including PJM, CAISO, ERCOT, and ISO-NE. The platform becomes increasingly valuable as the number of controllable distributed energy resources on the grid grows.
