Amber Technologies
Seed Round in 2024
While EVs typically have lower total cost of ownership and fewer maintenance requirements, longtime owners have found that EVs often outlive their warranties, which ends up costing drivers if they have issues with high voltage parts or the battery.
That’s why at Amber, we offer modern protection plans and repair facilities to give owners the confidence to own electric vehicles as they age. Unlike traditional extended warranty programs, Amber’s EV care program was designed with the top EV technicians and communities to be tailored for the EV ownership experience.
Amber is a seed-stage startup led by an experienced group of operators at the intersection of insurtech (Metromile; NYSE: LMND), mobility (Samsara; NYSE: IOT), and automotive (Hyundai), (Tesla; NASDAQ: TSLA).
leonardo. impact
Pre Seed Round in 2024
Impact investing is a $2.3 trillion industry. Per definition the investment should be linked to positive outcomes that benefit people & planet. Measuring impact is a complex and expensive process, which has led to institutions using their own unique methodology to suit their needs and budget. This leads to reporting errors at best. At worst, it leaves the industry vulnerable to greenwashing. A standardised and automated approach would result in millions in savings, more accuracy & trust.
leonardo's B2B SaaS solution combines effective & trustworthy impact measurement with the challenges of fund management & investor relations. We enable effective primary data collection to provide actionable insights into the actual effects of products & services on people & planet through automatically generated surveys and API connections to IoT devices & third party software.
With the tool being used by impact businesses & their capital providers, leonardo provides streamlined data pipelines and consistent communication throughout the entire capital flow. The high quality impact data is compliant with regulatory requirements & acknowledged impact reporting standards.
Additionally, we leverage machine learning at several stages. First, recommendation engines help the user to select the right frameworks & standards. Large language models help to extract qualitative information from interviews & reports and to utilise it for impact calculations. Most importantly, ML-powered data validation enables us to assess the impact and strongly increases data quality & reporting credibility, thus mitigating the risk for greenwashing while reducing the need for third-party audits.
