Our ventures

Local energy networks that keep building projects moving.

The energy transition is stalling under an overloaded grid: wait times for new connections average 40 weeks, delaying housing and industrial projects and putting CO₂ targets at risk. Staqx offers an alternative to grid reinforcement through local hybrid energy hubs: bundling renewable generation, EV charging and battery storage into DC or hybrid micro-networks, with full project delivery from grid analysis to permits and realisation.

How it works

Staqx offers an alternative to grid reinforcement through local hybrid energy hubs and flexibility solutions. By bundling renewable generation, EV charging and battery storage into DC or hybrid micro-networks, it relieves pressure on the existing grid, pairing technical expertise with full project delivery, from grid analysis to permits and realisation.

From waiting on central grid expansion to actively organising local capacity. Staqx makes energy hubs possible alongside the existing grid, so housing and electrification projects can continue even in congestion areas.

Huddles collaboration

Huddles has worked closely with Staqx since 2024: on the cap table, in the room.

Why we backed them

The energy transition is stalling under an overloaded electricity grid. Wait times for new or heavier connections average around 40 weeks, with thousands of megawatts queued, directly delaying housing and industrial projects and putting CO₂ targets at risk.

How Huddles engaged

We co-build from the inside: backing Staqx through the pre-seed fund, with hands-on studio support on strategy, hiring and go-to-market.

Where they stand

Founded in 2024 with Huddles as shareholder. Currently building its first hub projects.

You don't solve grid congestion from a spreadsheet. Huddles understands it's about execution power and people, and connects us to exactly the partners who give us real momentum.
