Switchd's proprietary technology model allows users to select the best energy solutions to power their homes. The company argues that more than 60 suppliers are dealing in solar, heat pumps and batteries in the UK which can be confusing for users to choose from. Switchd aspires to simplify this.

The company will also switch users every 6-9 months based on future energy deals. Switchd claims its model has saved users an average of over £400 per year on their energy bills. Switchd is backed by angel investors, Inspired Energy, and the Nationwide Building Society, who are promoting Switchd to their 15.5 million members. The company was rated 'Excellent' on Trustpilot in July 2021 and intends to become a contender in the £6 billion UK and £300 billion global green homes solutions market.

Lenderwize provides working capital to telecom wholesalers. It asserts that large telecom operators pay on sixty days whilst suppliers are paid on seven days; hence the middleman suffers an average -53 day Cash Flow Gap (CGP). Lenderwize also argues that banks do not understand the telecom industry because a phone call is not a tangible asset such as real estate; hence they provide little help. Lenderwize solves this problem. It has developed a financial technology platform that certifies 'Proof of Service' that includes real phone calls, real invoices and the quality of delivered services. Its typical clients are mid-sized operators having annual revenue of 50-300 million USD. Lenderwize sells to large Tier 1 Operators (Originators) and buys from smaller (Terminating) Operators. It has identified 1350 wholesalers in need of $96 million. Lenderwize intends to exit within four years and sell its business to potential buyers such as large telecom operators, alternative finance funders, and banks seeking innovation.
