Valencia's Linkener raises €7.5 million led by Alantra's Klima fund

The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlet.

Linkener, a Valencia start-up that manages energy for businesses, has closed a €7.5 million round led by Klima Energy Transition Fund, Alantra's vehicle for energy-transition investing. GoHub Ventures, a shareholder since 2019, is putting in money again.

The company sells an energy management system with its own metering, which lets clients track consumption, check their bills and get alerts and savings suggestions. It says it serves more than 2,000 clients, from the self-employed to large companies, across 10,000 supply points and 1.7 TWh a year, roughly what a city of 400,000 people uses. Its engineering team has also carried out more than 400 solar and storage projects around Spain. CEO José Ignacio Ruiz describes a sector where energy management is still stuck in practices from 40 years ago, which is a long time to go on trusting one monthly bill.

The money has two jobs: building in-house AI models to process invoices, spot anomalies and find savings, and buying companies that complement the platform. Klima backs growth-stage B2B energy-transition companies with a European focus; Alantra had about €2,567 million in consolidated assets at 30 June 2026. GoHub Ventures manages €90 million across two funds and holds 26 start-ups in nine countries.
