Igloo provides smart thermostats, hybrid heating, and EV charging in addition to a mobile app that is used to control the smart home\u2019s infrastructure and provide recommendations to decrease energy consumption. Besides, the tech startup developed an&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.energylivenews.com\/2019\/01\/14\/igloo-energy-looks-to-freeze-emissions-from-tesla-chargers\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">app for Tesla chargers<\/a>&nbsp;that helps to reduce their emissions fivefold by charging cars when the clean energy contribution to the electrical grid is the highest. The app achieves it by analyzing National Grid Forecasts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igloo has more than 85,000 users, and most recently, the company announced a&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.current-news.co.uk\/news\/igloo-energy-announce-partnership-with-osaka-gas-to-fast-track-home-services\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$20 million investment<\/a>&nbsp;from a Japanese gas company Osaka Gas Co.

Olio is a free app that connects people who have surplus food with people nearby who don\u2019t have enough.

Olio is not only successful but also a much-needed application that helps people appreciate food and share it more.
