Portfolio Company Info

Zaphiro is a Swiss startup that helps electrical utilities to guarantee resilient electrical grids by mitigating the destabilizing effects of Distributed Energy Resources (e.g., renewables, electric vehicles, batteries, etc.) and by reducing the impact of blackouts on electricity consumers. Its patented smart grid solution, SynchroGuard, is the only one based on fast and time-synchronized measurements from micro-PMUs (Phasor Measurement Units). It provides several benefits: up to 300% more renewables integration without grid reinforcement, automatic location of short-circuits to reduce the number and duration of blackouts, as well as reduced CAPEX and OPEX.
Zaphiro has already won 8 client projects with well-recognized clients in Europe and Asia and secured EUR 2M revenues.
