If you ask Hannes Münzinger whether he is currently building a unicorn, he says: “not consciously.” The rather reserved mid-40-year-old has founded an energy startup that wants to take on names like 1Komma5° or Enpal. Münzinger is still a long way from the billion-dollar valuations of his competitors: Homenergy from Munich has raised two pre-seed rounds, which are said to have raised a total of around one million euros. Despite this – and contrary to the reserved nature of its founder – the startup is pitching itself as a “new competitor to 1Komma5°.” Where does this courage come from?
Heat pumps, photovoltaics – what does Homenergy do?
