Our Story
From Energy Grids to Banking Rails
We built protocol-native middleware for power grids. Then we saw banks fighting the exact same battle — and losing.
The Thesis
We saw the middleware trap in energy grids. Banks have the exact same problem.
Energy utilities spent years and millions on middleware that sat between their grid infrastructure and customer interfaces. It was rigid, expensive, and impossible to adapt when new technology arrived.
Banks are in the same trap today. They spend $15M over three years on platforms like Backbase — middleware that was designed before AI, before conversational UX, before protocol-native architectures. We built EnergyAtIt to solve it for energy. BANK AT IT solves it for banking.
EnergyAtIt Founded
Protocol-native middleware for smart grid operators. Replaced legacy SCADA integration layers.
The Banking Insight
Discovered that banking middleware (Backbase, Temenos) had the same architecture problems we solved in energy.
BANK AT IT Launched
Protocol-native banking platform with MCP-powered AI agents. First customers in GCC and Southeast Asia.
