· Greg Jackson was a founder of Octopus Energy just over 10 years ago. Not many people have founded two mega-unicorns concurrently but this is what Greg and his team have achieved with Octopus and Kraken.
· We discuss the scale of ambition, the competitive advantages, the brand resonance, and focus on continuous innovation. We also discuss the energy market, net zero, electrification, and how we can reduce the cost of energy for businesses and households in the UK (and elsewhere).
Octopus has reached market leadership in the UK with c.8m customers and a rapidly growing international presence. Kraken is a leading international multi-utility tech platform with over 90m customers. These are compelling entrepreneurial growth businesses and great examples of UK innovation.
