Tetra, a burgeoning home services company dedicated to facilitating the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy, has successfully raised $10.5 million in a seed funding round. This round was led by prominent investors such as Greycroft, Gutter Capital, Lerer Hippeau, and 1sharpe Capital. The injection of capital is earmarked for the expansion of Tetra’s services into key markets, particularly New York and California. Additionally, the funds will support ongoing advancements in Tetra’s proprietary technology, aimed at simplifying and cost-effectively assisting homeowners in reducing their carbon footprint.
Meeting a Growing Need
The surge in energy costs and the escalating impact of weather extremes have amplified the demand for efficient home energy solutions. Both federal and state governments are contributing to this momentum by offering rebates and credits to incentivize households to adopt energy-efficient upgrades. However, the influx of new technologies and government incentives has left homeowners bewildered and contractors ill-equipped to guide them. Tetra’s mission is to streamline the process, making it straightforward for homeowners to transition to more efficient home heating and cooling solutions.
Revolutionizing the Home Improvement Landscape
Tetra’s innovative technology allows homeowners to input their address, receive an instant price quote, and explore available state and federal incentives. The end-to-end platform connects customers with qualified local contractors, optimizing efficiency throughout the entire process. By modernizing the home heating and cooling purchasing journey, Tetra achieves cost savings of up to 30%, surpassing the industry average, and passes these savings on to homeowners.
Max Veggeberg, CEO and Founder of Tetra, emphasizes the company’s commitment to simplifying the process for homeowners: “We are making the right choice, an easy choice, by leveraging our proprietary technology, installer network, and newly available government incentives to help guide thousands of American households who are eager to do their part in reducing their carbon footprint.”
Leadership and Vision
Before founding Tetra, Max Veggeberg led HomeWorks Energy, growing it to over $100 million in revenue. Tetra’s approach aligns closely with the federal Inflation Reduction Act, which allocates billions of dollars in incentives for homeowners to transition to high-efficiency systems. As part of the recent investment, John Elton, Partner at Greycroft, will join Tetra’s Board of Directors.
Future Outlook and Strategic Focus
The funding will be pivotal in enhancing the consumer transaction experience and reducing administrative burdens on installers through automation. Isabelle Phelps, Partner at Lerer Hippeau, notes, “This funding positions Tetra at the forefront of a shift in heating and cooling among consumers looking to save energy and reduce their climate impact.”
Dan Teran, co-founder of Gutter Capital and Tetra Board member, emphasizes the importance of widespread participation in the clean energy revolution, stating, “Every American household must participate if we are going to have a clean energy revolution in this country, at all levels of income and sophistication.”
About Tetra: Tetra leads the clean energy transformation by empowering homeowners to shift from fossil fuel heating and cooling systems to high-efficiency heat pumps. Tetra offers environmentally friendly options, enhances the homeowner experience, and coordinates the installation of home improvement projects.
