LeaseGreen
LeaseGreen first started in 2013, when founders Tomi Mäkipelto and Juho Rönni noticed a significant gap in the market.
Large sums were invested in energy production plants, even though the expected returns were modest. At the same time, there was no investment in energy efficiency in real estate - even though the potential returns were many times higher. Something was missing.
A player was needed to make energy efficiency investments in buildings technically reliable, financially secure and simple to make decisions about.
The start was fast. LeaseGreen assembled a talented team and packaged the technological solutions into a financed model, with savings covering instalments spread over several years. The model lowered the start-up threshold, delivered immediate savings and brought energy retrofits into the toolbox of every professional property owner.
