Rondo Energy builds heat batteries that store renewable electricity as high-temperature heat for industrial processes, decarbonizing hard-to-abate manufacturing.
Rondo Energy is a clean energy company founded in 2020 focused on industrial decarbonization through thermal energy storage. The company builds brick-based heat batteries that store cheap renewable electricity as high-temperature heat up to 1500 degrees Celsius, which can be delivered on demand as steam, hot air, or direct heat for industrial processes including cement, chemicals, food production, and paper manufacturing. Industrial heat represents roughly 20% of global carbon emissions and has been among the most difficult sectors to decarbonize because most industrial processes require consistent high-temperature heat that electricity alone cannot easily provide. Rondo's technology eliminates the need for fossil fuel combustion in industrial heating by storing excess renewable energy during low-cost periods and dispatching it as heat when needed. The company raised over $100M and has deployed commercial projects with major industrial customers including Linde and Siam Cement Group. Rondo Energy addresses a massive decarbonization opportunity that electrification and carbon capture alone cannot fully solve.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
