# Odyssey Adds $27M Equity and $47M Debt for Emerging-Market Solar

> Odyssey Energy Solutions raised $27M of equity and $47M of debt; the $74M package finances both its software platform and distributed-energy projects.

Odyssey Energy Solutions raised **$27 million of equity** and **$47 million of debt** to expand distributed renewable-energy financing in emerging markets. The combined package is $74 million, but less than 37% is venture equity.

Broadscale, FMO and Al Mada Ventures joined the equity financing. Returning investors include [Union Square Ventures](/fund/union-square-ventures), Equal Ventures, Abstract, Twelve Below, FJ Labs, MCJ and Transition Ventures. British International Investment, BIO, the Facility for Energy Inclusion and the Energy Entrepreneurs Growth Fund provided debt.

## How the $74M package is structured

| Component |   Amount | Purpose                                  |
| --------- | -------: | ---------------------------------------- |
| Equity    | **$27M** | Platform and company growth              |
| Debt      | **$47M** | Project and distributed-energy financing |
| Total     | **$74M** | Mixed capital package                    |

No formal series label or valuation was disclosed.

## What Odyssey does

Odyssey operates software and financing infrastructure for distributed-energy developers, investors and equipment providers. The company says its network connects more than **6,000 energy companies** and has facilitated access to **$3.6 billion** of project capital.

Those figures describe platform reach and facilitated capital, not Odyssey revenue. The business must coordinate project diligence, procurement, asset monitoring and finance across markets where fragmented developers and currency risk can slow deployment.

## Why the debt matters

Distributed-energy projects need capital against contracted or expected cash flows. Debt can scale deployments without imposing the same dilution as equity, but its economics depend on project performance, repayment, currency exposure and the allocation of losses.

Odyssey did not disclose revenue, take rate, default history, debt pricing, covenants or how much of the $47 million has already been deployed. The central diligence question is therefore credit performance: the platform’s $3.6 billion reach matters only if financed projects repay through changing power, currency and regulatory conditions.
