AmpUp: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)

AmpUp is a top electric vehicle (EV) charging operating system that allows drivers, hosts, and fleets to charge without stress. Our technology simplifies the management of multiple charge stations and locations for businesses and property owners in one platform. We help customers reach their electrification goals quickly and easily. AmpUp, based in Santa Clara, CA, has provided network and software solutions to customers throughout North America, including major companies like JLL, CBRE, Domino's Pizza, Goodyear, and more. Founded in 2018 and supported by the YCombinator accelerator, AmpUp was created by nomad electric vehicle drivers who identified a common issue: the lack of home charging for electric car owners. Initially launching a mobile app for a shared charging network, AmpUp has expanded to offer charging management solutions for various customers while maintaining a focus on public charging accessibility in all products.

About FundedIQ's AmpUp Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for AmpUp is left off this page rather than filled in.
