Vienna-based enspired has extended its Series B round to over €40 million, welcoming Future Energy Ventures as a new investor alongside continued backing from Zouk Capital, EnBW New Ventures, Banpu NEXT, PUSH VC, and 360 Capital.
The company manages AI-powered battery energy storage systems across Europe and recently surpassed 1 gigawatt of BESS under management.
What Does Enspired Actually Do?
enspired provides AI-based trading-as-a-service for battery energy storage systems and flexible power assets.
Their automated platform optimizes batteries across wholesale markets, control reserves, and ancillary services to maximize revenue for asset owners.
Founded in 2020 by Jürgen Mayerhofer (CEO), Mario Schmoltzi (CCO), and Wolfgang Eichberger (CTO), the company operates globally with offices in Vienna and Innsbruck.
Why This Deal Signals Market Maturity?
The extension validates enspired's commercial model after publishing certified revenue benchmarks—a rarity in the battery optimization space.
In the past year alone, the company entered six new markets and established itself as Europe's leading BESS optimizer.
The capital will fuel expansion into Asia and the US, with an existing partnership with Banpu NEXT targeting Japan's emerging battery market.
CEO Jürgen Mayerhofer notes the company crossed the “magical 1GW mark” and proved commercial leadership through transparent, verified results.
