Plural Closes $7M Seed Led by Paradigm to Power the Electron Economy

The company is building the financial infrastructure to make investing in high-yield energy assets from distributed renewables, to batteries, to data centers, possible

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Plural, the tokenized asset management platform powering the electron economy, today announces an oversubscribed $7.13M seed round led by Paradigm, with participation from Maven11, Volt Capital, and Neoclassic Capital. Fueled by strong investor demand, the company closed the round at nearly double its original target, bringing total funding to nearly $10M. With an early lead across compliance, deal flow, and platform development, this latest infusion of capital accelerates Plural's rapid growth.

Plural unlocks investment in high-yield energy assets at the edge of the electron economy—solar, storage, and data centers that are too small to bear the administrative burden of traditional infrastructure project finance structures. With global data center electricity demand projected to more than double by 2030, and electrification and EV adoption driving total consumption up by over 50%, the aging grid is under mounting strain.

Plural enables capital to flow into distributed generation—solar and storage across the grid co-located with consumption—supporting a more resilient, modernized power mix. These assets offer compelling returns and climate impact, yet have remained out of reach for institutional capital—until now. By bringing these assets on-chain, Plural makes participation simple, scalable, and cost-efficient.

The company uses smart contracts to automate and deliver highly structured deal terms with institutional-grade features like waterfall distributions, investor protections, financial reporting, and compliance, transforming assets that were previously too small or administratively burdensome into a programmable, portfolio-ready asset class for allocators. Projects can be built faster, generate real yield, and improve resilience, giving investors newfound access to the edge of the grid and helping to close the multi-trillion-dollar financing gap for energy systems of the future.

"As we enter an era defined by AI and electrification, nearly every economic moment will accrue value into the electron economy. The infrastructure that produces, consumes, and stores electrons won't just power our systems and societies—it will power returns for investors of all types," said Adam Silver, founder and CEO of Plural. "Allocating to the electron economy will be one of the most compelling capital markets opportunities of the next decade, and we couldn't be more excited to use tokenization to make these assets accessible and investable at scale."

Momentum for Plural's Tokenized Energy Asset Marketplace 
2025 marked a turning point for Plural:

• Plural has over $300M in distributed solar and battery assets available for investment from high-quality renewable energy developers.
• Plural has worked with developers across the electron economy—from commercial solar to bitcoin mines—helping them access capital with greater efficiency. Project sponsors using Plural have saved an estimated 2% on their cost of capital by streamlining asset-level fundraising and eliminating unnecessary intermediaries.
• Earlier this year, Plural acquired a registered broker-dealer—now renamed Plural Brokerage LLC—enabling it to facilitate securities transactions on behalf of renewable energy partners and investors, while embedding broker-dealer due diligence directly into its tokenization process.

Today, Plural is scaling rapidly across product, capital markets, and asset origination, with a focus on expanding its capacity to source, underwrite, and tokenize high-quality energy projects to meet growing institutional demand. The team is actively hiring.

"Capital formation in energy, data centers, and other real-world infrastructure still runs on dated legal rails and fragmented fund admin," said Caitlin Pintavorn, Partner at Paradigm. "Plural's tokenization platform enables transparent, scalable capital markets for the physical world, starting with transforming energy into a more widely investable asset class. We're thrilled to back Adam and the Plural team in this effort, who bring world-class domain expertise to this important real-world infrastructure challenge."
