Daze, the Italian participatory home charger

Italian startup Daze has secured a €15 million capital increase to expand its European operations.

Founded in 2017 by engineers Giacomo Zenoni and Andrea Daminelli, Daze now has the resources necessary to develop its charging solutions.

In 2020, Daze’s first product, Dazebox, was launched on the Italian market. Dazebox has since evolved over the next two years through a series of software updates aimed at improving and expanding the product in response to market demands, such as smart power balancing, integration with photovoltaic systems, and the development of the Daze app, which allows users to monitor and control Dazebox remotely.

Daze Focuses on Updates

Looking ahead, with the funds raised, the company is preparing to strengthen its presence in Spain and France, and expand into new European markets, notably Switzerland and Germany, and beyond. Daze aims to complete its range of chargers for private and public use and to introduce a series of innovative products and services to the market. The young company’s goal is to establish itself as a leading global player within the next five years.

Upcoming technologies will include automatic charging systems (Charge Comfort), bidirectional charging (Vehicle to Home and Vehicle to Grid), as well as new services to optimize energy costs directly on electricity bills.

The €15 million funding round also includes a share-based crowdfunding campaign via the Mamacrowd platform, with a target amount of up to €1.5 million, set to launch in February.
