Plural Energy, a blockchain-based investing platform, has announced a $2.33 million pre-seed funding round led by Necessary Ventures and Compound, with contributions from Volt Capital and Maven11. The funding will support the launch of Plural’s first tokenized investment assetโ€”a portfolio of solar projects developed by Solaris Energyโ€”expected later this summer.

Plural Energy aims to democratize access to clean energy investments by leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize assets, allowing a broader range of investors to participate. The platform’s first offering will enable users to invest in operational solar farms across the U.S. through smart contracts that accrue dividends based on solar energy production.

CEO Adam Silver emphasized Plural’s mission to create an inclusive financial system for clean energy investments. Solaris CEO Alex Blackmer praised the partnership, highlighting the ease of capital raising through Plural’s platform.

Plural’s platform features partnerships with top renewable energy developers, a focus on impactful projects under $100 million, and strict regulatory compliance. The use of blockchain technology reduces transaction costs and management fees, making investments more profitable and accessible.

Founded in early 2023, Plural has quickly gained traction, attracting over 40,000 investors to its waitlist. The company’s advisory board includes industry veterans Benoit Allehaut and Paula Zagrecki. Recent hires, such as CTO Kent Kolze and General Counsel Howard “Wood” Steinberg, strengthen Plural’s leadership team.

Plural Energy aims to expand its offerings and bring more renewable assets to market, accelerating the transition to clean energy.
