SEOS Energy is a legitimate early-stage fintech startup in Colombia verified to have raised seed funding (~$600k) and processed ~150 solar credit applications. However, the project submission contains multiple critical red flags, including false claims of reaching 'everyone' and having 'most people' as users, while verified data shows fewer than 50 active clients. The project scores high on potential utility and market timing for LATAM's energy transition but is severely penalized for lack of actual scale and the extremely low quality of the submission data.

Project Details

Description
SEOS is a Colombian based fintech platform, similar to Goodleap or Mosaic in the US, addressing the needs of a mostly disconnected, yet-to-be-digitized solar ecosystem in LATAM that still needs to build trust. We connect homeowners and multifamily buildings, qualified installers, and capital providers to provide solar loans of up to 100% financing with expert unbiased installation oversight through technology to enable seamless solar journeys with threefold peace of mind.
