Flower

Flower operates a Power Refinery - a hardware agnostic platform that connects flexibility assets with buyers of flexibility. We integrate with flexibility assets, collect metering values and can actively manage their power profiles, we prognose available flexibility and decide in which markets and at what price flexibility will be offered. We run projects within light and heavy EV charging, energy storage, hydropower, solar power and heating. We aim to offer ancillary services and participate in capacity markets. Flower's mission is to drastically increase available flexibility to support the renewable electrification of everything. Flower Labs is the world-class AI startup best known for being behind the most popular open-source framework in the world for training AI on distributed data and compute resources using decentralized and federated methods. Trusted by industry leaders such as Mozilla, JP Morgan, Owkin, Banking Circle and Temenos use Flower to easily improve their AI models on sensitive data that is distributed across organizational silos or user devices. In a world where most AI relies on centralized public datasets — just a fraction of the data available — we believe unlocking access to (orders of magnitude more) sensitive data will drive the next breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Flower Labs is a Y Combinator (YCW23) graduate and backed by top-tier investors and renowned angels, including Felicis, First Spark Ventures, Mozilla Ventures, Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue, GitHub Co-Founder Scott Chacon, Factorial Capital, Betaworks, and Pioneer Fund. Together, we are redefining how AI is built, deployed, and scaled.
