Derapi, founded in 2022 and headquartered in the United States, positions itself at the crossroads of API, Energy, Information Technology, Renewable Energy, and Energy Storage industries. Its core proposition, encapsulated in the slogan, "One API uniting the Distributed Energy ecosystem," addresses the growing need for streamlined data and communication between distributed energy resources (DERs).
The company offers a cloud-based application programming interface that simplifies access across numerous behind-the-meter devices like distributed solar, energy storage units, and smart thermostats. By eliminating the need for bespoke solutions, Derapi aims to expedite market entry for DER software developers while broadening market opportunities for device manufacturers.
The company garnered attention from investors in its Pre Seed Round on 15 September 2022, with backing from UNION Labs Ventures, Earthshot Ventures, and Ubiquity Ventures. This investment underscores their potential to transform communication in energy distribution networks.
