About:Energy: Revolutionizing Battery Design for the Transition to Electrification

Battery data and software company About:Energy, founded in 2022, is revolutionizing the field of battery design and optimization. With the mission to accelerate the transition to electrification, About:Energy provides the tools and data necessary for organizations to build better batteries for various applications.

The company’s journey began when the co-founder, together with Kieran O’Regan, recognized the commercial potential of a novel battery testing method invented during their PhD research on measuring lithium-ion battery thermal properties. Realizing the broader scope beyond their initial testing method, they expanded About:Energy into a comprehensive battery data and software company.

Charging the energy transition: the role of batteries

About:Energy aims to become the central hub for battery data, offering companies access to crucial information for designing tailored, high-performance batteries. Through their database, The Voltt, they have gathered and tested a wide range of commercial batteries, creating digital representations that can be integrated into engineering workflows.

Collaborating primarily with major automotive OEMs, About:Energy helps optimize battery designs, enhancing range, lowering costs, and extending service life right from the start. They reach their customers through strategic partnerships, digital marketing, and PR, focusing on providing an excellent customer experience.

Since their launch, About:Energy has rapidly evolved, expanding their testing services and data tools. In 2023, they welcomed Thierry Bollorรฉ, former CEO of Renault and Jaguar Land Rover, to their board, benefiting from his extensive automotive expertise. They have raised ยฃ1.7M in funding from investors and secured ยฃ1M in government grants, allowing them to scale their operations. Currently, they are exploring a Series A investment round to further expand their capabilities.

The working culture at About:Energy fosters collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability. The team values open communication and creativity, driven by the goal of accelerating the transition to clean energy. While they work hard, they also prioritize work-life balance and wellbeing.

About:Energy addresses the unmet need for efficient battery design by providing a comprehensive platform that streamlines the battery R&D process. Traditionally, physical prototyping is time-consuming and costly. About:Energy’s virtual prototyping approach allows engineering teams to evaluate options and make informed decisions swiftly, significantly reducing development time and costs.

With their data-driven approach and dedication to advancing the field of battery design, About:Energy is at the forefront of driving the electrification revolution. Their innovative solutions are enabling organizations to build better batteries faster, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of clean energy.
