About Quantum Energy, Inc.

Quantum Energy, Inc. provides an AI-driven analytics platform designed to guide investment and policy decisions in the clean energy sector. Founded in 2019 by CEO Dr. Daniel Howard and COO Andrew DeMille, the company was born from a conversation about the broad-ranging negative impacts of fossil fuels beyond just carbon emissions. Dr. Howard, an energy researcher with a PhD in energy system optimization, had been focused on national energy systems, including their environmental and health effects. DeMille, a multi-exit SaaS startup founder, brought his experience in fundraising and go-to-market strategy to the venture.

The company's core offering is the TotalView Energy Platform, a SaaS tool that provides a comprehensive analysis of energy decisions. This platform moves beyond simply tracking carbon emissions to quantify a wider spectrum of impacts on human health and ecosystems, such as issues related to particulate matter, human toxicity, water depletion, and land use. It utilizes AI-driven energy modeling algorithms and integrated life cycle assessment data to provide clients with a holistic view of the effects of their energy choices. The platform is designed for a diverse client base that includes energy developers, corporate buyers, utilities, policymakers, and investment portfolio managers. For developers, it helps build the business case for new projects by illustrating their positive impacts, while corporate clients can use the analytics to maximize the ROI of their clean energy investments and enhance ESG reporting.

Quantum Energy operates primarily on a service-based model, offering consulting and customized impact analytics, but is transitioning to a cloud-based SaaS model with its TotalView platform. This shift will allow clients to directly input project data and receive detailed impact reports within hours. The company also offers its analytics through an API to integrate with other climate and energy software platforms. The firm has received non-dilutive funding, including a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation for over a quarter of a million dollars. The team consists of experts in energy modeling, environmental science, data analytics, and cloud-based software.
