This financing will fuel the company’s commercial expansion across France and select European markets, the development of AI-powered automation for site management, and the rollout of new energy contracts designed to favor flexible loads. To support its ambitions, the company will double its headcount from 15 to 30, with a focus on technical roles critical to building its vertically integrated energy platform.
Unifying Energy Assets for Smarter Management
DejaBlue entered the energy space by providing commercial real estate owners, fleet operators, and energy managers with a unified offering through which they can orchestrate their energy assets. Both founders have a deep background in reliably managing and optimizing distributed assets at scale from their experience at Google Fi, Uber and Lyft. They are leveraging this expertise to connect EV chargers, solar panels, and energy contracts into a single platform—allowing clients to lower energy bills, boost reliability, and make smarter investment decisions across their sites.
Investor Confidence: DejaBlue’s Market-Disrupting Potential
Mira Kamp, Principal at redalpine, said: “We were blown away by how efficiently the small team around Parker and Baptiste executed and built a best-in-class EV charging solution in record time. Now, with their move into vertical integration as both a charge point operator and energy retailer, DejaBlue is uniquely positioned to reshape the energy market through load optimization, demand response, and a seamless end-to-end customer experience that no other provider offers today.”
Unlocking Flexibility in a Volatile Energy Market
With energy prices rising and grids growing more volatile, flexible assets like EV chargers and batteries represent an untapped opportunity. DejaBlue is pioneering new types of energy contracts that reward flexibility, especially during the growing midday surplus of renewable electricity. DejaBlue helps businesses take advantage of these moments by shifting EV charging and other loads to times when renewable electricity is abundant and cheap. This reduces energy bills, eases pressure on the grid, and gives renewable producers more consistent demand. It’s a win for everyone: cleaner energy, lower costs, and ensures more regular demand for green energy producers.
Turning Energy Flexibility into a Strategic Advantage
“The first wave of electrification was about installations and incentives,” said Parker Spielman, co-founder and CEO of DejaBlue. “Now, as EV adoption becomes the norm, energy itself is the bottleneck—both in cost and complexity. We’re turning energy flexibility into a strategic lever for businesses by coordinating solar, charging, and tariffs to reduce their overall cost of energy.”
