FlexiDAO is a software provider in the energy sector headquartered in Amsterdam.
The company was founded in 2017 in Barcelona by energy engineers Simone Accornero (IT) and Grzegorz Bytniweski (PL) and by economist Joan Collell (ES). The three founders bring diverse experience from companies like Google, Bain & Company and Everis.
FlexiDAO was created to accelerate the transition towards a decarbonised and decentralised energy industry, leveraging on blockchain applications.
FlexiDAO's mission is to effectively coordinate millions of distributed energy resources into the grid. It's logo - the octopus - represents that vision: Two thirds of their neurons are located in their tentacles, what scientists call a decentralized brain. Utilities need to become an "octopus" too, locating their brain at the edge of the grid.
For that purpose, FlexiDAO offers utilities white-label blockchain applications on top of a middleware platform that can access any blockchain infrastructure in an enterprise-grade, secure way. The company is supported by SET Ventures, accelerators KIC InnoEnergy and Rockstart and is an affiliate member of the Energy Web Foundation.
