Balderton Capital, an investment company, and Lakestar, a private equity firm, led a $79m funding round, in Tesseract, an energy company, with participation from Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon Capital, Ribbit and BoxGroup, Tom Stafford, Martin Mignot, Chris Sacca, John Doran and Nico Rosberg. “As Europe enters a critical phase for energy, and the world urgently confronts a warming planet, brave solutions are required. Tesseract’s combination of renewable power and a new model for energy and participation can help us confront these dual challenges without slipping further back into fossil fuels. Alan and Charles are two iconoclasts who have proven themselves capable of reshaping industries during their time at Revolut. We are humbled to be backing them and the entire team at Tesseract,” Colin Hanna, Balderton Capital Partner.
