The 0-Mission, a Copenhagen-based renewable energy startup, has secured over €130,000 in pre-seed funding from a group of business angels, including those from Angella Invest. Founded in 2022 by Anna Riis Hedegaard, the company offers a subscription-based solar park model aimed at enabling small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to balance their energy consumption with green energy inputs. The funding will help the company strengthen its presence in Denmark and lay the groundwork for future international expansion.
Founded in 2022, The 0-Mission’s mission is to enable businesses of all sizes to add as much green energy to the grid as they consume. Founder and CEO Anna Riis Hedegaard previously worked at European Energy, where she contributed to the development of wind and solar farms for some of the world’s largest companies. However, she identified a gap for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which led to the creation of The 0-Mission.
“The green transition is a team effort, and all businesses have a crucial role to play. With SMEs accounting for 99% of all companies, The 0-Mission has developed a flexible solar park subscription model, enabling everyone to take responsibility for their energy consumption,” says Anna Riis Hedegaard.
From the outset, The 0-Mission’s ability to attract strong brands from a wide range of industries has been key to its growth. Its client list includes well-known names such as Deloitte, Matas, Visma e-conomic, DTU Science Park, and Esmark Feriehuse.
Thomas Granhof, CSO and co-founder of The 0-Mission, notes that the company’s early clients are not just addressing their own climate impact:
“They are also supporting a business model that ensures all companies can participate. Each partnership is crucial to our ability to help solve the climate crisis.”
The 0-Mission, which previously secured investment from Antler, is excited to grow its business with the help of its new investors. The consortium offers not only capital but also expertise and a commitment to developing the business further.
Anja Monrad, former General Manager for Dell Technologies in Western and Eastern Europe, is one of the key figures in the investment and states:
“Taking real climate action has now become a necessity for running a business. It’s hard to imagine that a subcontractor can continue working with large companies if they aren’t on top of their climate efforts.” She continues: “That’s why it’s fantastic that there is now a solution that enables small and medium-sized businesses to take responsibility for the climate in a simple and accessible way that fits their needs,” and adds: “This is the perfect time to roll out a business model like The 0-Mission, and I’m excited to be a part of the journey.”
