Our take
Sense is a technology company hoping to have a positive impact on the environment, by providing residential customers with an intelligent home energy monitor. The company's system identifies the devices in the house by detecting their unique electrical signals, helping customers to understand and reduce their household energy consumption, and make more informed decisions about their homes.
Sense distinguishes itself through its proprietary AI and ML-based technology, through which users are provided with real-time insights into energy and device activity (even if the devices themselves are not smart). Its app can be used to monitor and reduce energy consumption, which is good for both the environment and consumers - who stand to save on their energy bills.
As it increases its international presence, the company has secured partnerships with businesses such as Schneider, a key provider of energy infrastructure across the world. It has received substantial funding towards further expanding its global footprint to Europe, Asia Pacific and other regions. On top of this, Sense plans to invest in accelerating its path to broad consumer adoption in partnership with smart home innovators.
