Perl Street unlocks capital for distributed infrastructure assets such as batteries, electric vehicles, automated robotics, smart HVAC systems, charging networks, and more. By democratizing structured finance through its platform, Perl Street has already helped multiple hardware startups receive over $100M+ in financing offers from some of the world’s most reputable institutions. Climate change is a massive hardware problem. According to IEA estimates - reaching net zero emissions would require over $4 trillion per year in global clean energy investment.

Zenbase, a financial health solution, is the first to offer flexible rent payments in Canada and is committed to economic inclusion that fosters financial empowerment for renters. Our solutions improve the financial wellness of renters while improving operational efficiency for property managers. Rent is usually due on the 1st of the month but that doesn’t align with most people’s bi-monthly pay cycle. We’ve fixed that misalignment and provide other financial tools to help level the playing field. Zenbase was founded with the vision of becoming a trusted partner in managing household finances while eliminating late fees and predatory financing. Socially responsible finance has never mattered more. Our mission is to ensure that no one is ever behind on their rent payments or gets evicted. Our solution enables the affordability of the primary need of every person, housing, which is why we built a solution that offers the most flexible rent payments ever. We also offer other financial solutions that empower users to better navigate financial challenges that life may throw at them.
