Deftpower had previously received support from Proeza Capital, Twickelborg, Cosmic Cat, Rethink Ventures, and Koolen Industries, among others."
"Deftpower was founded in 2020 and now has 70 employees spread across offices in Arnhem and Berlin. The company is developing a cloud-based SaaS platform that optimizes the charging of electric vehicles. The software better aligns supply and demand, reducing the strain on the electricity grid.
