MARCLEY secures six-figure pre-seed round for solar energy in multi-family buildings

Hanover - The greentech start-up MARCLEY from Hanover has successfully completed a pre-seed financing round in the high six-figure range. The company's aim is to make solar systems more accessible for apartment buildings.

MARCLEY offers a solution that enables apartment owners to use solar energy on their roofs without having to make any financial investments or incur any special costs. The green electricity generated is offered at a lower price than the local basic supplier.

Through this financing, we can accelerate our developments and enable multi-family homes to reduce their annual electricity costs by a significant amount by equipping their roofs with solar systems more quickly.

Friedrich Grimm, co-founder of MARCLEY

MARCLEY's main goal is to make green energy available to all segments of the population, including tenant and homeowner communities that have previously had limited access to such technologies. Thanks to this successful financing round, the company is in a good position to realize its vision and continue to grow.

We understand the unique challenges of multifamily buildings and use our expertise to develop sustainable energy solutions. With our support, apartment buildings can make a significant contribution to the energy transition

Florian Schulte, co-founder of MARCLEY, emphasizes:

MARCLEY was founded by energy experts Florian Schnipkoweit, Florian Schulte and Friedrich Grimm. The company aims to make green energy accessible to a broad section of the population. By providing solar solutions without financial burden or special effort, MARCLEY enables the residents of multi-family houses to have an environmentally friendly and cost-efficient power supply.

The financing round is led by established venture capitalists such as Hannover Beteiligungsfonds (HBF), managed by the experienced early-stage investor EnjoyVenture, and Climate Founders. Also involved are industry experts such as Robin Kroll (Imogent), Michael Suer (Renewa) and Carsten Gropp (Four Management).

The addition of MARCLEY to our portfolio demonstrates our continued interest in promising greentech start-ups.
