Excited to Announce Our Investment in Deck!

We are thrilled to partner with YG, Fred, JB, and Bruno, the founders of Deck, who previously built Flinks, an open banking platform in Canada. After Flinks was acquired by the National Bank of Canada for $150M CAD, the team set out to tackle an even bigger challenge: a platform that provides access to all types of user-permissioned data.

There's immense value locked behind user credentials, yet accessing such data remains cumbersome as it requires someone to log in to individual utility bill accounts and download data.

Deck offers a single API to access user-permissioned data globally—any country, any data source, and it’s easy to integrate.

Currently, Deck is focused on tracking energy efficiency and measuring carbon emissions — tasks that are typically time-consuming, complex, costly, and prone to errors. With Deck, businesses and software companies can access energy, water, and waste data, enabling them to generate accurate carbon emissions reports.

But this is just the beginning—this kind of reliable data will fundamentally change how businesses operate.

Deck’s platform is available in over 30 countries and can extract data from more than 100,000 sources, including electricity, fuel, natural gas, water, and sanitation.

The company has developed two core offerings: Deck Self-Serve and Deck API.

Deck Self-Serve, designed for enterprise users, allows teams to connect, export, and view data through a single dashboard.

Deck API enables platforms to seamlessly integrate utility account linking capabilities into their user workflows.

The company is gaining rapid traction, with a growing portfolio of businesses and software companies across the US and Europe already leveraging the platform.

We’re excited to partner with Golden, Luge, and others in supporting Deck’s growth!
