Our story
Why we started Light
If you’ve ever tried to build anything in energy, you know the options aren’t great. You either become a licensed utility, or depend on one.
Either way, you’re stuck with slow-moving partners, legacy tech, and zero control over a poor customer experience.
We started Light to change that. We believe electricity plans should be embedded, affordable, and invisible, just like payments, shipping, or any other modern backend infrastructure.
So we built the missing platform that makes it possible.
We’re already expanding across multiple states, powering real homes and growing fast.
Our mission
To power a sustainable and abundant energy future for everyone
Electricity is foundational
Like food and water, power is an essential part of how we live, work, and grow. Keeping it sustainable is a global priority.
Demand is exploding
From EVs to AI, our need for electricity is accelerating faster than ever before.
The current system is breaking
We still rely on fossil-fueled, centralized grids that can’t keep up with the scale or speed the world demands.
Innovation can't wait
We can’t solve 21st-century problems with 20th-century infrastructure. By partnering with Light, companies can start creating real change at scale.
Who we are
A convergence of tech and energy builders
We’re a smart, thoughtful crew of engineers, product thinkers, and climate optimists, bringing together builders from across tech and energy.
We’re backed by the best investors in climate and tech
