¿Qué problema se ha resuelto?
As heatwaves become more frequent and intense, cooling is no longer a luxury but critical infrastructure. However, conventional air conditioning is expensive to install, difficult to retrofit into existing buildings, and energy-intensive to operate. As a result, millions of buildings still lack access to an efficient and scalable cooling solution.
¿Cómo se resuelve?
So.cool provides a plug-and-play air conditioner with no outdoor unit, no exhaust hose, and no permits or construction required. It utilizes a proprietary PCM-based thermal battery system that stores heat during the day and regenerates overnight. This system delivers cooling for 6-10 hours, reduces electricity consumption by up to 40%, and operates silently.
¿Quiénes son los clientes potenciales?
So.cool has validated demand with paying pilots, first revenues, and a successful live demo with 70+ participants. There is a ~€300k waitlist and a growing pipeline. Current traction includes 5 paying pilots and 20 units directly sold. Future projections include ~€1M revenue by Sept 2026 (750 pre-sales) and €2.5M revenue by June 2027 (750 units delivered).
¿En qué se diferencia esta solución?
So.cool offers installed HVAC comfort with portable AC simplicity and lower operating costs. Key differentiators include being installation-free, having low total cost (no installation CAPEX and up to 40% lower electricity consumption), and being quiet and office-ready.
