Sofdesk main product lines currently include SaaS-based software platform for solar installers (Solargraf) as well as a SaaS application for roofing companies to source new business (Roofgraf). The company is also developing software solutions for future platforms including the Insurance and Utility sectors.

“We are pleased to back this young, innovative and very entrepreneurial team. With limited capital to date, they have demonstrated the ability to grow their business and have built a customer base of over 617 solar installers and have developed a strong positioning of their software products in multiple markets. This round of financing will help the company expand and scale its software data platform into these new markets and build on their existing management team. Our investment in Sofdesk represents our 12th investment in EnerTech IV and the company has great synergies with many of our Strategic LP’s and existing portfolio companies,” commented Hunter.

“The BDC Capital ICE fund is pleased to support an extremely talented team of young entrepreneurs in the high growth solar industry as Sofdesk now has received the capital to rapidly expand its footprint across North America,” added Van Bommel.

“We are thrilled with the traction that Sofdesk has gained in such a short period of time and I believe that with this recent round of financing, our ability to grow the company will increase significantly across our respective markets. The innovative mix of our unique sales acceleration solutions, combined with a highly talented team and experienced value added investors EnerTech & BDC Capital, Sofdesk will be well positioned for growth,” said Lennie Moreno, CEO of Sofdesk.
