<p>Founded in 2017 by Chris Thompson and Dan Adams, Amber gives customers dynamic power prices that change depending on the real wholesale value of energy. Customers can pay less by charging your battery when energy is greener and cheaper as well as earn more by exporting when prices increase.</p>
<p>Combined with Amber's smart tech, solar and battery owners have the power to supercharge their savings, take control of their battery and make their energy work harder for them.</p>
<p>Amber is backed by some of Australia&rsquo;s best accelerators and investors, including EnergyLab (Australia&rsquo;s leading energy accelerator) and Startmate (Australia&rsquo;s leading tech accelerator). Investors include Blackbird, Square Peg, Main Sequence, Commonwealth Bank and Black Sheep Capital.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The company has won Startup Vic&rsquo;s Impact Pitch Night, for the best startup focused on making a positive social impact and been named Victorian Start-up of the Year.</p>
