Google Ventures, a venture capital investment firm, led a $20m Series A round in Verse, a software company, with participation from Coatue, CIV, and MCJ Collective. "Commercial and industrial electricity use is a significant contributor to global emissions. We need to make clean energy the most economical option for large electricity consumers, but existing solutions don't scale. Our latest fundraising round, backed by an impressive roster of investors, will fuel Verse's growth and enhance our software product suite, enabling more businesses to reduce both the cost and emissions of their electricity," Seyed Madaeni, Verse CEO.
