CARRBORO, NC, April 30, 2025 — Triangle-based Nimble Energy, a growing innovator in building energy management technology, has successfully closed its seed funding round. The investment will position the company to accelerate product development, expand its customer success teams, and advance a new model for energy and sustainability management — one in which AI-powered tools unlock new opportunities for savings and strategic impact.
The round was led by Cofounders Capital, a prominent early-stage seed fund focused on B2B software ventures in the Southeast.
Founded by energy industry veteran Jeff Soplop, Nimble Energy empowers building owners and operators to move beyond manual data reporting, leveraging AI-driven insights to proactively shape energy and sustainability strategies.

We’re thrilled to support their growth.”
The funding round included participation from a strategic group of venture capital firms and industry leaders, including Front Porch Venture Partners, Blueridge Climate Ventures, Primordial Ventures, Triangle Tweener Fund, and 2ndF, as well as several angel investors.
“We built Nimble to make energy management strategic, data-driven, and accessible,” Soplop said. “This seed round validates our vision and fuels our expansion at a time when rising complexity demands smarter tools — and when cost savings and carbon reductions are more critical than ever.”
