Powering the Future: Why We Backed Yottar

Who They Are

Yottar is building a digital twin of the electricity network, using proprietary machine learning and live user data to forecast congestion and capacity across the grid. Their platform empowers energy asset developers, such as those building EV charging networks, renewable projects, or data centres, to find viable sites and manage grid applications more efficiently.

What Problem They Solve

Grid congestion has become the single largest barrier to decarbonisation. Today, 80% of grid connection applications fail, costing developers huge sums in time and money, often for projects that were never feasible to begin with. Yottar helps developers avoid these wasted efforts by showing where grid capacity is available now and in the future, giving them a clear route to faster, lower-risk development.

Traction & Progress

In under a year since its founding, Yottar has secured contracts with some of the biggest names in the industry:

  • Tesla is using the platform to identify viable locations for new Supercharger hubs.
  • NHS England is relying on Yottar to plan EV charging infrastructure across thousands of sites.
  • And now, Amazon is being onboarded to support their data centre rollout.

This is product-market fit at speed.

Why We Are Excited

The problem is massive, and grid delays threaten national climate goals. But what impressed us most was the execution. From idea to paying customers in months, the Yottar team has already demonstrated the urgency, technical depth, and product thinking that define category leaders.

Yottar is more than a brilliant idea; it’s the intelligence layer the energy transition has been missing. We’re proud to lead their $1M pre-seed round alongside Cape Capital and a group of strategic angels and are excited to support them as they expand across the UK, Europe, and beyond.
