Another use case is mobile EV charging as Instagrid’s batteries can also be stacked to provide more power.

Initial target markets include construction and professional gardening. In reality, Instagrid’s battery is easy to carry around and delivers grid-like power with 230V and 3.6 KW to any equipment, packing enough energy for an entire offgrid workday wherever you go. Each battery cell is controlled by its own power converter which enables intelligent swarm-like behaviour within a software-defined battery.
INSTAGRID STARTUP SOFTWARE
However, the Co-Founders’ self-confidence stems from a very small, low-cost and highly efficient AC/DC power converter and distributed software developed inhouse over 2 years. Instagrid claims that they have the world’s most advanced mobile battery. At Bosch’s Power Tools unit, they identified the market opportunity for a sophisticated mobile battery for professionals working in the field and decided to leave the safe harbour of the corporate behind and start their own company. The Stuttgart-based startup was co-founded in January 2018 by Sebastian Berning (PhD in Physics from University of Göttingen) and Andreas Sedlmayr (PhD in Material Science from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) who worked together for 5 years at Robert Bosch honing their technical development, product management and supply chain skills. Instagrid and SET Ventures met for the first time at Ecosummit Berlin 2019, reports. Today Instagrid GmbH, Ludwigsburg, Germany, makes a big step forward and celebrates the closing of its €8.5M Series A led by SET Ventures and joined by Segnalita Ventures, part of the Swarovski family office which also owns Tyrolit, Germany’s early stage power house HTGF and the Frankfurt-based family office oup. Their solution is replacing stinky diesel gensets with silent mobile batteries. Their goal is smart green electrification without local CO2 emissions. They take mobile electricity where it has never gone before.
