Enerlink

Enerlink, a Chilean company founded in 2018, is positioned as a technology provider focused on intelligent energy management. The company was established by Sebastián Luque, Alberto Cárdenas, and José Ignacio Dussaillant. The idea originated while Luque and Cárdenas were pursuing postgraduate studies at MIT, where they identified a significant gap in energy consumption data and efficiency tools available to large energy consumers. Initially operating as an energy consulting firm that negotiated better electricity rates for businesses, Enerlink pivoted its business model to focus on software development.

The firm's core business now revolves around two main service lines: smart energy metering solutions and, most significantly, electromobility solutions. Its primary product is a proprietary Charge Management Software, an OEM-agnostic platform that allows clients to integrate various chargers and electric vehicles to optimize charging schedules, manage operations remotely, and access real-time data. This SaaS (Software as a Service) offering is complemented by a "Charging as a Service" (ChaaS) model, where Enerlink manages the entire charging solution lifecycle, from design and construction to ongoing operation. The company serves a diverse client base that includes real estate operators, public charging operators (CPOs), and commercial fleets. Notable clients include Walmart, Mercado Libre, and public transport operators for systems like Transantiago in Chile and Transmilenio in Colombia.

Enerlink generates revenue through its SaaS subscription models and comprehensive ChaaS contracts. Having expanded beyond its Chilean headquarters, the company now has operations in Colombia, Peru, and Mexico. A significant milestone was achieved in October 2023, when Enerlink secured a $3.6 million funding round led by Kayyak Ventures, with participation from investors like CORFO. This capital injection supports its mission to accelerate the adoption of electromobility in Latin America by creating a more efficient and decentralized energy ecosystem.
