"Data is the new plastic. The same way we now recycle plastic, we have start recycling our digital waste, avoid digital littering and put an end to hoarding of digital garbage. Our mission is to educate people on the reality of the Hidden Emissions Cloud, which is as real as the emissions planes or cars produce, and provide them with tools to ensure they can do something about it."

- Pavel Stanek, Business Co-founder at Fasade

Our story

Ankit and Pavel have been friends and colleagues for the last five years, where they’ve been continuously fighting over how different organisations manage and utilise their systems and data 📊.

This led to a realisation that as a result of unsustainable practices, a universal problem was evident 🌏  and that there is potential for a business idea. Ankit and Pavel then made a tough decision to quit their jobs and work on this problem. Once they realised that data-use inefficiency has a direct negative impact on energy efficiency, they decided to pivot into that direction. More importantly, however, they realised that while everyone is focusing on the supply side of energy efficiency and data consumption, no one is looking at solutions for the demand side.

Since then, Fasade got into the 2020 EnergyLab Acceleration program 💡 , which allowed them to meet, learn from and work with the leading industry professionals from utilities, cloud providers to data centre providers. As a result of that, Fasade just received first round of funding from the Clean Energy Seed Fund.
