The energy grind has always punished scale. Every new site is another HVAC to tame, another lighting system to program, another refrigerator eating dollars while no one’s looking. For operators running thousands of locations, it’s less about running a business and more about juggling a circus of inefficiency. ENTOUCH saw the mess back in 2008 and decided to do something about it. They didn’t build another monitoring tool, they built orchestration. A platform that takes the chaos of multisite operations and turns it into savings, control, and sustainability you can measure on the balance sheet.
That vision just earned them a $50 million growth-equity round led by Respida Capital, with James Zubok and his team putting conviction behind what’s fast becoming the industry standard for energy-as-a-service. CEO Jon Bolen and CTO Eric R. Denton aren’t selling hardware in a box or dashboards that nag you with alerts. They built a managed service that blends proprietary devices, cloud-hosted analytics, and 24×7 monitoring into something facilities teams can actually trust.
The results? Over 19,000 sites deployed. $85M in annual energy savings. 8,500 truck rolls erased every year. And a 100% renewal rate on ENTOUCH 360 contracts, because when your system actually works, people stick around. National retailers, hotel groups, healthcare campuses, and fitness franchises already run on ENTOUCH, and with this new capital, more sectors are next.
Respida Capital didn’t just buy into growth, they bought into proof. ENTOUCH owns the full stack, which means they control the experience end-to-end. BACnet, Modbus, refrigeration, lighting, everything plays through one interface, from mobile commissioning in the field to predictive analytics in the cloud. The roadmap is just as ambitious: demand-response, renewable integration, ESG dashboards, and expansion into Canada and select international markets.
The takeaway isn’t just that ENTOUCH raised a round. It’s that energy management has crossed the threshold from cost center to competitive edge. Growth equity flows toward fundamentals, and ENTOUCH has them stacked: adoption, efficiency, retention, and scale. For Jon Bolen, Eric R. Denton, and the team in Richardson, this raise isn’t about growth for growth’s sake. It’s about making sure the word “waste” finally gets cut out of the operating budget.
