Industry Mainstay

Moment Energy is a high-potential Series A cleantech company with verified significant traction ($52M+ funding, DOE grants, partnerships with Mercedes/Nissan). However, the submission itself contains demonstrably false and unprofessional claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', user 'MysticFang', inflated team size). The score reflects the high real-world value of the company, heavily penalized by the low integrity of the specific data entry fields.

Description
Want to save the world? So do we. That’s why we started Moment Energy, a cleantech company that’s helping to build a sustainable economy through battery energy storage systems made from repurposed electric vehicle batteries. We keep people’s lights on, and their batteries from ending up in landfills. As an impact-driven organization, Moment's goal is to provide a reliable and environmentally friendly battery energy storage system for our customers. We’re the only Canadian company working with Nissan North America, Mercedes Benz Energy and other world renowned automakers to repurpose their EV batteries. We're a proud Canadian-owned and operated company founded by four tech entrepreneurs, with a mission to provide worldwide access to clean, reliable and affordable power. Our solution helps off-grid customers reduce diesel consumption and transition to renewables, and also provides peak shaving and backup power for commercial and industrial customers. Moment Energy was recognized as the Grand Prize Winner of the 2021 National Impact Investor Challenge held by Spring Activator in June 2021. On October 4th, 2021, we placed third in the 2021 New Ventures BC Competition, British Columbia’s largest annual tech startup competition. We’re a fast-paced, VC-funded company backed by major Canadian and US Venture Capital and Climate Funds including Version One Ventures and Fika Ventures.
