Short Description
Comundo is a Danish cleantech SaaS startup building the data infrastructure layer for real estate energy consumption. Its platform aggregates real-time, audit-grade data from electricity, water, gas, and district heating via direct integrations with utilities and smart meters, bypassing invoice-based systems used by most ESG tools. This enables regulatory compliance, credit underwriting, and energy optimization from a single source of truth.

Why we invested
Comundo fits our belief that the energy transition in real estate will be driven by operational truth, not paperwork. By replacing manual reporting with direct, trusted connections to utility data, Comundo turns energy performance into something owners, lenders, and investors can actually use. It shifts sustainability from a compliance exercise to an input in valuation, financing, and asset-level decision-making, exactly where change compounds.
Founder Story
Sverre Dueholm
,
Founder & CEO
Sverre grew up in Copenhagen, drawn to music and to people who hadn’t had his opportunities. After years playing in bands, he studied social work to help disadvantaged kids, only to realize he couldn’t keep emotional distance. That tension between wanting to care deeply and needing a practical way to act pushed him toward building things of his own. He went on to study communication and later IT, not to become an engineer, but to understand how to turn ideas into working products with others.
His first ventures circled back to music: a quiz app that struggled against rigid royalty systems, then Wakey Wakey, an alarm app that turned morning messages into charity campaigns. Users came and went, but he learned how fragile products were when they weren’t tied to real, repeatable value.
Later, he co-founded and scaled Podimo, a podcast company, from a kitchen table to +100 people across four countries. There he saw how quickly fast growth, remote work, and a numbers-first mindset could burn through people and resilience when the world shifted.
Comundo is his answer to those lessons. He believes infrastructure work like energy performance should be both economically critical and humanly sustainable. By turning manual, analog EPC processes into data-driven workflows, Comundo aims to make the green transition a default business decision while building a company that does not treat people as expendable inputs.
