Emobi started in a fleet depot, not a venture fund. The founders spent years reconciling EV charging data by hand before they built the software to stop doing it.
Lin Sun Fa spent three years managing fleet electrification programs at a regional logistics company in Jacksonville, Florida - overseeing the transition of 120 delivery vehicles to battery electric across three depot locations. The vehicles worked. The charging data did not.
Each depot used a different EVSE vendor. Reconciling charging costs at the end of each month required a different login, a different export format, and a different spreadsheet - every time. There was no unified view of fleet charging utilization, cost per vehicle, or charger uptime across all three sites.
In 2023, Lin attended a fleet electrification industry conference and ran an informal survey: eight other fleet managers, all describing the exact same manual reconciliation process. The data existed inside each network's portal. The problem was interoperability - or the absence of it.
Lin contacted Dana Osei, who had spent four years building and maintaining backend systems for commercial fleet management in EV charging network operations. Together they built API adapters for the five networks covering 80% of US public charging ports. Their first customer was a 60-vehicle last-mile delivery fleet in Orlando that needed cross-network billing reconciliation.
Emobi now operates a software gateway covering 30+ EV charging networks and 140,000+ chargers, serving fleet operators, property managers, and energy software companies that need cross-network EV data and control through a single integration point.
The commercial EV charging ecosystem has grown faster than the software layer around it. Operators managing vehicles across ChargePoint, Blink, EVgo, Tesla, and dozens of regional networks face a real data problem: each network has its own API, its own session format, its own billing structure, and its own uptime characteristics. Making sense of that as a unified fleet program requires either a large internal integration team or a software layer that handles the normalization problem for you.
Emobi's mission is to be that software layer - a clean, reliable gateway API that turns 30+ distinct charging network integrations into one, so the rest of your fleet electrification stack can focus on operating vehicles, not managing data pipelines.
We connect networks, we don't pick winners. Our gateway is network-neutral - we serve customers, not the charging operators.
A dashboard you log into is a workaround. Data that flows into your systems is infrastructure. We build infrastructure.
When charging data is wrong or unavailable, fleet operators make bad decisions. We treat uptime and data accuracy as non-negotiable.
Fleet electrification programs don't survive if the cost accounting doesn't work. We built reconciliation as a core capability from day one.
Emobi's seed round was led from within the Southeast US venture community, with investor backing from a network focused on early-stage technology companies in the region. Our investors understand regional fleet electrification dynamics and the infrastructure challenges facing commercial operators transitioning to electric vehicles. The round funds continued development of the gateway API, expansion of network coverage to additional regional charge point operators, and early revenue conversations with fleet management software teams and property managers running multi-vendor EVSE deployments. We are not a growth-stage company making broad market claims — we are a focused engineering team solving a specific integration problem for a defined customer segment.
Lin and Dana are directly involved in early customer conversations. If you manage a fleet or multi-vendor charging deployment, we want to understand your current setup.
