1. XPV to provide additional $9 million growth
EnerTech Capital Leads Investment in Montreal-based Cost Efficiency
Software Company Sofdesk
February 22nd 2017, Toronto, Philadelphia – EnerTech Capital (“EnerTech”) is pleased to
announce today that it has led a $3 Million CDN Series A financing along with Co-investor, BDC
Venture Capital. In conjunction with the investment, Managing Director, Wally Hunter will join the
Sofdesk Board.
Sofdesk is an emerging software company that helps reduce soft costs in multiple markets for Solar and
Roofing installation and Utility Customers. Sofdesk offers a unique sales acceleration platform, allowing
companies to scale much quicker and strengthen their infrastructure through automation of sales leads,
data and advanced quoting tools. The company’s main product lines currently include SaaS-based
software platform for solar installers (Solargraf) as well as a SaaS application for roofing companies to
source new business (Roofgraf). The company is also developing software solutions for future platforms
including the Insurance and Utility sectors.
Residential solar projects are known to take hundreds of man-hours of effort: sales, marketing, financing,
design, procurement, installation and operations tasks all performed by stakeholders across multiple
companies. Sofdesk addresses these costs by reducing customer acquisition costs and installer overhead.
It also facilitates the sourcing of financing options.
“We are pleased to back this young, innovative and very entrepreneurial team. With limited
capital to date, they have demonstrated the ability to grow their business and have built a
customer base of over 617 solar installers and have developed a strong positioning of their
software products in multiple markets. This round of financing will help the company expand
and scale its software data platform into these new markets and build on their existing
management team. Our investment in Sofdesk represents our 12th investment in EnerTech IV and
the company has great synergies with many of our Strategic LP’s and existing portfolio
companies” said Wally Hunter, Managing Director EnerTech Capital.
"The BDC Capital ICE fund is pleased to support an extremely talented team of young
entrepreneurs in the high growth solar industry as Sofdesk now has received the capital to
rapidly expand its footprint across North America," says Tony Van Bommel, Senior Managing
Partner of the Industrial Clean and Energy Technology Fund.
“We are thrilled with the traction that Sofdesk has gained in such a short period of time and I
believe that with this recent round of financing, our ability to grow the company will increase
significantly across our respective markets. The innovative mix of our unique sales acceleration
solutions, combined with a highly talented team and experienced value added investors
EnerTech & BDC Capital, Sofdesk will be well positioned for growth” says Lennie Moreno, CEO
of Sofdesk.
