The story

Cloover is a Berlin-based climate fintech founded in 2022 that operates an AI-based integrated energy management platform for residential solar, battery storage, and heat pumps. Its embedded-finance angle is credit underwriting that monetizes future energy savings, enabling homeowners to adopt clean power with zero upfront capital while giving installers automated procurement and workflow management. The 2024 seed round combined debt and equity, consistent with a lending-origination model that needs balance-sheet capital alongside operating capital.
