Electric grid stability provided by Mosaic Power’s networked electric water heater controllers
Avon, CT, January 22, 2018
Clean Feet Investors I, LLC (“CFI”), a fund managed by Zahren Financial Co, LLC (“ZFC”), is pleased to announce that its portfolio company Mosaic Power, LLC (“Mosaic”), has received new capital investments from parties who are also investors in CFI to continue its rapid growth and development. Mosaic issued Convertible Notes which may be redeemed or exchanged into equity upon the consummation of an equity funding round anticipated later in 2018.
CFI had previously invested $2,000,000 of project equity to acquire operating systems managed by Mosaic. Similarly, Mosaic partners with IGS Energy (“IGS”), based in Columbus, OH, on the purchase and installation of systems in buildings, primarily low-income housing apartments, owned by parties who are already customers of IGS. Both ZFC and IGS are proud to be helping innovative companies like Mosaic to succeed in cost effective ways to help the fight against Climate Change by reducing the use of fossil fuel-based energy.
Bernie Zahren, the CEO of ZFC, said: “I am pleased to personally join with several other CFI investors to support the capital needs of Mosaic. Entrepreneurs like Greg and Laurie Vaudreuil are at the heart of the efforts needed to reform our outdated and inefficient electrical supply infrastructure.”
