Company DescriptionUnited Living Group's investment enables Heatly to enhance our capabilities, broaden our product scope and accelerate our market expansion efforts with a core focus on the regulatory global decarbonisation of heat, initially through heat pump roll out and with £ of UK Gov development funding already injected. We have developed a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform that is currently at the MVP stage and is now starting to operationalise and commercialise having gained enterprise “proof of concept” contracts with two of the largest energy companies.Our focus is on delivering net zero emissions from domestic heating which is aligned with the UK government’s ambition. So far approximately 190+ million heat pumps are installed globally which accounts for only 10% of overall sales and only 20 million of these are in Europe. There is a significant ‘Total Addressable Market’ (TAM) of over million heat pump installs happening every month making our proposition leading edge with significant growth potential.Our SaaS platform utilises cutting edge scanning technology that is operating system agnostic, using these methods heatly is redefining how technology is used to survey and create building digital twins.We require talented people to join our team to turn our MVP into a fully working, scalable technology proposition to deliver our ambition and be first to market. You will already have worked in a similar startup environment and have a proven track record in delivering, fast, quality and scalable technology platforms, with time pressure to ensure we are first to market.
