The Company

EnGoPlanet is a well funded Award Winning Clean Energy Start-Up. The company was founded on a vision of delivering clean, managed “wireless energy” to meet the global need for reliable, low-cost solar power for street lighting, telecom, security, and IoT devices, as well as other mission-critical systems.

The company has recently completed a Series A investment led by Sallyport Holdings, who have billions of dollars worth of exits under their belt, and are actively involved, young, and ready to support high-growth technology companies like EngoPlanet. You’ll be standing shoulder to shoulder with industry makers and company builders.
