### About David Energy
David Energy is creating a new kind of power company. Traditional Retail
Electricity Providers (REPs) are outdated, opaque, and painful for customers
to engage with. We use software to monitor our customers' real-time energy
usage, and we aggregate and analyze that data to maximize the value they get
from their energy assets – batteries, EVs, HVAC systems and other distributed
energy resources (DERs) via participation in energy markets. Our mission is to
run the grid on clean energy 24/7.
