Loop Global
Series A in 2022
We take care of everything from site plan design, engineering, installation, operation and maintenance. Our end-to-end service plan makes it easy for property owners and operators to offer the value-add amenity of controlled access EV charging to their tenants, colleagues and customers without the burden of upfront capital expenditures. LaaS (Loop-as-a-Service) program participants utilize a portion of the estimated revenue generated from their EV charging stations to pay a fixed month term payment over a pre-determined period. This plan allows site hosts to receive upgrades immediately, be cash positive from day 1, and instantly increase the value of their property without ever going out of pocket.
Belong

Belong operates a property management platform that integrates various aspects of the home rental and improvement process. It aims to redefine the rental experience by fostering a sense of community among residents and property owners. Unlike traditional landlord-tenant relationships, Belong promotes a mutual respect and connection between individuals seeking homes and those offering them. The platform employs proprietary algorithms to determine rental prices and ensures a thorough vetting process for residents, including background checks and interviews. This approach not only streamlines the renting process but also enhances the sense of belonging for renters, who are encouraged to engage with their communities and local businesses. Belong caters to those who prioritize lifestyle choices over home ownership, creating a supportive environment for both residents and property owners.
