We've been on the journey with ACCURE Battery Intelligence since the Series A and excited to now be part of the $16M Series B round. Congrats to the ACCURE team and welcome Incharge Capital Partners! ACCURE's AI-driven predictive analytics software is already safeguarding over six gigawatt-hours of battery systems worldwide—helping prevent failures, reduce downtime, and maximize financial performance. The team works relentlessly ensuring batteries are not only safer but also more bankable and insurable. Working with UBS Asset Management speaks to the industry's need.
We have two very big—and very exciting—announcements this morning! ?? The first: ACCURE has secured $16M in Series B funding! This milestone, supported by incredible capital partners: Incharge Capital Partners, Blue Bear Capital, HSBC Asset Management, Riverstone Holdings, Capnamic and 42CAP accelerates our ability to scale our predictive battery analytics platform globally. Together, we’re ensuring that energy storage systems and EV fleets are safer, more reliable, and performing at their peak. This funding empowers us to bring AI-driven battery intelligence to operators across Europe, the Americas, and the Asia Pacific, helping drive the world’s transition to clean energy. ?? The second: UBS Asset Management has deployed ACCURE's predictive battery analytics to enhance the safety and performance of four energy storage projects in Texas—totaling 730 MW of capacity. By continuously monitoring these assets, our platform identifies potential issues before they escalate, recommends corrective actions, and tracks system performance post-maintenance. This ensures UBS's projects operate at their peak while mitigating risks such as thermal runaway. With this deployment, UBS is not only boosting operational reliability but also playing a significant role in supporting the resilience of the Texas grid. Special thanks to e-STORAGE for the images that appear in this post and within the article text.

Axiom Cloud is deploying its coldchain-specialized AI into another of the country's largest grocery retailers to dramatically reduce the cost and environmental impact of refrigeration. See full article here, and h/t to Amrit Robbins, Patrick Castles & team!
Exciting news: we have secured a new contract with a Top 10 U.S. grocery retailer, alongside a new funding round led by our existing investors Blue Bear Capital, Leadout Capital and Vela Partners. The market is speaking clearly - the transition to software-only refrigeration management is accelerating fast. Our ability to deploy across 100+ sites per week without new hardware or site visits is revolutionizing how the cold chain approaches operational efficiency and sustainability. What makes this particularly meaningful is the validation from both customers and investors. Our Early Leak Detection (ELD) module continues to demonstrate best-in-class performance, helping facilities slash costs, reduce emissions, and stay ahead of EPA and CARB requirements.

Great article by Latitude Media highlighting our portfolio company Raptor Maps. One line in the article struck us as being particularly relevant to the potential that we saw when investing in the Raptor Maps team - "By developing a software that attempts to solve a long-term business issue — solar farm monitoring and optimization — the company is staying with its customers “year after year after year,†and developing deep sector expertise." https://lnkd.in/gND2Gag9
