€1m · Pre-Seed · Software · Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen-based os.energy has raised €1m in pre-seed funding from Danish early-stage investor PSV Tech as it launches Osmund, a digital electricity retailer built around cost-price power and an AI-assisted customer app. TechSavvy reported the financing and launch on 25 August, and PSV Tech confirmed its investment when the company emerged from a year in stealth.
Osmund holds its own Danish electricity-supplier licence rather than reselling another provider's product. The company says its os.energy platform automates the operational layer behind the retailer, including market data, settlement, billing and customer service. Osmund's customer-facing service is already live in Denmark, while the financing gives the founders room to develop the platform and the energy-management services around it.
Zero-margin power makes software the product
Osmund's proposition separates the commodity from the service. Its Åben plan passes through spot-market electricity and disclosed balancing costs without adding a consumption margin, while the company earns through flat subscriptions and paid software features. The current product site says customers can follow usage and prices, and its published price schedule sets out the charges separately rather than hiding them inside a per-kilowatt-hour markup.
That changes what os.energy must prove commercially. Removing a consumption margin may make the offer easier to explain, but it also makes the automation layer central to unit economics: settlement, billing and support have to remain inexpensive as customer numbers grow, and enough households must value the app and subscription services. The AI interface lets users ask plain-language questions about bills and consumption, but the durable advantage will depend on whether those answers help customers act, not simply whether the interface can generate an explanation.
Running a licensed supplier also makes this more than a conventional consumer app. Reliability, accurate settlement and responsive support are part of the product even when customers never see the underlying software. If os.energy can automate those regulated workflows without weakening service, it can test the same infrastructure as a platform for other energy providers; if exceptions still require heavy manual work, the cost-price model becomes harder to scale.
Flexibility is the second revenue test
The longer-term product is household flexibility. Osmund says its Balance service, currently in beta with selected customers, is intended to coordinate electric-vehicle charging, heat pumps, batteries and solar around prices and grid conditions. That could create savings for households and make distributed devices useful to the power system, but it requires dependable device integrations, forecasting and control that respects customer preferences.
The founders bring adjacent experience to that problem. Chief executive Niklas Allamand Dib previously co-founded home-decarbonisation platform Bodil.energy, while chief technology officer Maziar Zamani was founding CTO of motion-capture company Rokoko. PSV Tech says it backed their mix of domain and technical experience. The €1m round now funds an early test of whether a transparent retail offer can acquire customers while the software underneath becomes the higher-value business.
