Jaki problem został rozwiązany?

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.

W jaki sposób został rozwiązany?

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.

Kim są potencjalni klienci?

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).

Czym różni się to rozwiązanie?

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.
