Are you passionate about the role technology can play in mitigating the climate crisis? Join Guided — we pay upper quartile for salary, and you’ll solve complex problems that can accelerate the decarbonation of one of the most polluting industries.
Hi - I’m Anant, CEO of Guided Energy. I’m a Cambridge & MIT engineer living in Paris. I’ve helped thousands of fleets reduce their emissions but cofounded Guided when I met Eric and saw there was an opportunity to scale my impact:
- Fleets need to transition 90m vehicles to electric by 2030 - a mix of regulation and incentives are pushing them. But on the ground, things break down. Fleets are unprepared to deal with fluctuating grids, nonlinear batteries and all of the new complexity that comes with electrification
- Guided is re-designing how commercial fleets consume energy, starting with an optimisation platform that enables fleet managers and drivers access the best electricity to hit their routes.
- Having launched in 2023, we are growing fast — we work with some of the most known fleets and have connected ~1,000 EVs to date, with contracts to triple that in the coming months
Backed by Sequoia, we are racing to rebuild this broken, trillion dollar fleet energy market from the ground up.
