Gradient: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

The goal of Gradient is to cool the planet without harming the environment by making every home more livable and healthier for its residents. Heating and cooling equipment already produces more greenhouse gas emissions than the whole transportation industry, and in the next 30 years, it is anticipated that these emissions will double. Yet, comfortable homes are important for productivity and health, especially in areas where people are particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change. Gradient envisions a world in which everyone may access cosy, entirely carbon-neutral buildings. Direct-to-consumer high-efficiency and low-carbon heat pump is our first offering.

About FundedIQ's Gradient 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 Gradient is left off this page rather than filled in.
