Slick Energy, the first integrated online platform for the $100+ billion (annual) home energy services industry. We launched Slick Energy to dramatically change the way consumers purchase and receive home energy services and just 17 months later we are seeing exciting, profitable and validated key metrics. Consumers expect high quality, on-demand services. Energy services is a fragmented and antiquated market and companies have yet to adapt to this expectation. A growing number of consumers are looking for better ways to make their buying decisions. Slick Energy has demonstrated a scalable go-to-market strategy using fuel as its entry point. The founding team has extensive experience in energy products and marketing techniques. Drawing from this experience the team has implemented a highly efficient and effective strategy and is building the industries first cohesive brand. Heating oil is to Slick as books are to Amazon. We’re taking our model and our experience in the home energy space to build a solution for other energy products (propane, 24/7 emergency service, HVAC upgrades and more.)
