Cloover

Cloover was founded in Berlin in 2023 by Jodok Betschart, Peder Broms and Valentin Gönczy. It started by addressing a distribution and financing bottleneck in residential renewable energy: independent installers often lacked the software, working capital and point-of-sale financing needed to sell projects at scale.

The company now provides an AI-powered platform covering project management, procurement, customer financing and energy management. Its customers include independent installers selling solar systems, batteries, heat pumps, EV chargers and related home-electrification products; Cloover reaches households through those installer partnerships rather than relying primarily on its own sales force.

Cloover is especially strong in combining structured finance with workflow software. Its latest strategy extends beyond financing and software into energy management, including dynamic tariffs and the aggregation of installed systems into a virtual power plant. For an intern, the firm sits at the intersection of fintech, climate technology, SaaS, consumer credit and European energy markets.
