About Eli

Eli, an early-stage, venture-backed software startup at the intersection of climate and fintech, is on a mission to make clean energy and electrification accessible and affordable – for everyone. We are looking for a passionate individual to help our team qualify households for various incentive programs and support our ambitious mission.

The Problem

Electrifying homes and buildings is one of the most important ways to cut emissions, lower energy bills, and build a more reliable electric grid. While many incentive and financing programs exist to support this work, they are often difficult to use in practice.

The challenge is not technology. It is complexity.

Every heat pump, EV charger, and solar installation comes with paperwork, eligibility rules, income verification, and long wait times for payment. Contractors such as plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians are busy running small businesses. They do not have the time or resources to navigate complicated incentive programs, especially when serving lower-income customers.

This friction slows everything down. At the scale required, tens of millions of home upgrades, it becomes a serious barrier.

That is what Eli is here to fix.

The Products

Eli is building products that make it easy for contractors, installers, and retailers to offer their customers incentives, rebates, and low-interest financing for consumer decarbonization projects. Think heat pump HVAC systems, EV chargers, heat pump hot water heaters, solar, and battery storage, among others. Our products are informed by years of user testing and real-world data, with an emphasis on supporting users with the greatest barriers to access.
