About Us

Leap is on a mission to decarbonize the world’s electric grids. We do this by building and scaling virtual power plants (VPPs), which call on everyday energy technologies — like battery storage, electric vehicle chargers, and smart thermostats — to support the grid when electricity demand is high.

Leap partners with energy technology providers to connect these devices to grid flexibility programs, where they can get paid for reducing or shifting usage to help balance the grid. Our software platform facilitates fast, automated access to energy markets across the U.S., making it easy for our partners to unlock new revenue, make their energy‑saving products more affordable for their customers, and provide crucial support for electric grids.

Together, we’re making it possible for every home and business to play a meaningful role in building a cleaner, more affordable, and more reliable energy system.

Leap is a privately‑held tech company with funding from top venture capital firms and experienced energy entrepreneurs. We are a remote, distributed workplace with teammates based in Europe and North America.
