Overview
Furo Energy builds software that controls and optimizes commercial and industrial battery storage. It forecasts power prices and weather up to 48 hours ahead, optimizes charging/discharging in real time, and markets unused capacity in energy trading. The platform is sold through installers, project developers, storage manufacturers and utilities and is used across Europe for system sizing, asset operation, and flexibility trading, delivering significant cost savings. Its goal is to expand across Europe, grow its team, and broaden adoption of its platform to optimize asset utilization and lower electricity costs for a growing fleet of battery storage assets.

What believers are saying
- September 2026 funding from TQ Ventures gives Furo runway to expand Europe-wide.
- Reported traction of 800 companies and 6,000 sites validates demand one year after founding.
- Rebranding from Lumera to Furo and Deutsche Bahn adoption strengthen enterprise credibility in Germany.
What critics are saying
- enspired, Entrix, and Statkraft already dominate European battery trading with gigawatt-scale fleets.
- Furo’s Deutsche Bahn win signals concentration risk; losing one channel partner hurts deployments fast.
- If Germany’s storage economics compress by 2027, Furo’s pricing edge and funding narrative weaken.
What makes Furo unique
- Furo optimizes industrial batteries in real time, not just offline sizing, across 6,000 sites.
- Its channel-first model sells through installers, OEMs, and utilities, embedding deeply into procurement.
- Founders Lena Voß, Leonie Wagner, and Simon Wittner leverage CDTM and Munich energy talent.
