Financing the next-generation of infrastructure projects
Perl Street is democratizing structured finance through our platform, unlocking billions in financing for sustainable infrastructure and next-generation hardware technologies. Perl Street has already helped multiple hardware startups receive over $140M in debt 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. This means we need to upgrade nearly everything with new hardware - from energy storage devices to electric vehicles, charging stations and building electrification. The future of infrastructure is both distributed and resilient. And none of it is possible without financing new hardware.
Perl Street provides a cloud-based financial infrastructure platform designed for distributed energy assets and renewable energy projects. It offers an integrated system of record and data-driven tooling to accelerate project financing, portfolio management, and decision-making for energy developers, asset managers, and capital providers.
A SaaS platform that aggregates data from ERP, CRM, and data acquisition systems to deliver real-time insights and unified access to financial workflows. It integrates with existing tools for cross-functional use, enables AI-enabled underwriting and financial modeling, and provides a scalable environment to manage project finance, asset portfolios, and investor interactions from a single system of record. Quick to implement with simple data/workflow integration and ongoing access to project and portfolio insights across current and future projects.
Who it’s for: Investment managers, commercial asset managers, project developers, CFOs/financial teams, and capital providers operating in the distributed renewable energy sector.
