Heizma

Heizma is building Austria’s leading full-service energy company - making homes climate-neutral through electrification. 🇦🇹⚡💚

We started with heat pumps in early 2024, and within 9 months, bootstrapped to over €10M in sales and 500+ installations. What began with one product has quickly evolved into a complete solution:
Heat pump, solar, battery, wallbox, AC, energy manager, and an energy community model - everything it takes to help households access the cleanest and most affordable energy available.

From our own installation teams to software and system intelligence (via our spin-off Optima), we’re building the infrastructure for a future without fossil fuels - one home at a time.

We're always looking for talented people who want to build something meaningful. Let’s electrify this country. 🔋🇦🇹

Optima

Optima is building the intelligent layer for energy systems — controlling electricity and heat in real-time with AI.

Born out of Heizma’s acquisition of meo Energy, Optima develops AI-powered energy management solutions that optimize energy flows across heat pumps, solar panels, batteries, EV chargers, and the grid — from private homes and corporate buildings to energy communities and, ultimately, the grid itself.

CEO & Co-Founder

I love turning ideas into companies - and I’m lucky to be surrounded by people who share the same passion. 

Right now, I’m fully focused on Heizma. What started as an idea in December 2023 turned into a company by March 2024. By the end of that year, we had reached €10M in sales and installed over 500 heat pumps. Bootstrapped.

Today, Heizma is Austria’s leading full-service electrification provider, offering heat pumps, solar panels, batteries, EV chargers, air conditioning, energy management, and an energy community to help our customers access the cleanest and most affordable energy possible.


I’ve been chasing ideas and turning them into businesses for as long as I can remember - from flipping goods at flea markets at age 7 to large-scale game key reselling at 15 (XX.XXX€ monthly revenue), which eventually led me to Bitcoin.

What followed were multiple business ideas during my university years, until my early touchpoints with Bitcoin led me to build Coinpanion. The idea? So simple it actually worked: Crypto for people who don’t want to follow charts - just set it, forget it, and let it ride. (hello #ETFs for crypto)

So I did what every 21-year-old entrepreneurial student does: I stopped studying (eventually finished later) and dove headfirst into the rollercoaster. We built a team of up to 40, expanded into 3 countries (Austria, Germany, and Poland), reached 25,000 customers, and raised €6M in funding.

In 2023, we were fortunate to successfully exit the company to Revix, which - together with a consortium of crypto platforms - became Altify, now serving a large number of customers across Africa and Europe.

With no break at all, things unfolded as they did, and I found myself in the next adventure: Heizma - and honestly, I love it every day. 

Occasionally, I also invest in other startups via morgen ventures, but the truth is:
I’m a founder first, investor second - and right now, it’s heads-down building time.

BIG NEWS: We acquired Viessmann Climate Solutions 🤯 👀



... as our new strategic partner for 2026! (got you there 😉)


Over the past two days, we visited Viessmann’s global headquarters in Allendorf and spent time with CEO Thomas Heim, Nadi Ahmad, Christopher Müller and Peter Huber - the team that made this partnership possible.


2025 was incredible.

2026 is where we shift gears. Strong partners matter, and Viessmann is exactly that.

It was special to experience this moment together as a full Heizma crew - Bruno Manda, Raphael Rotter, Hans Georg Einwagner, Drago Majic, Emanuel Jöbstl (Optima integration 👀) - and of course my amazing Co-Founders Michael Kowatschew and Valentin Perkonigg.

We’re ready for a huge year ahead and to electrify 1.000+ homes in 2026.

Just getting started! ⚡️🏡
