Network-aware exchange.
Research-grounded team.
Enleashed combines formal market mechanism design, energy systems engineering, finance strategy and commercial execution. The founding team brings the research depth and practical experience needed to build exchange infrastructure — not just a product.
Designing the market infrastructure for a network-aware energy exchange.
Shaun is the founder of Enleashed and the architect of its core mechanism design. His work focuses on how a network-aware exchange can coordinate generators, suppliers, and asset owners in real time — with price signals grounded in physical network state rather than system-average abstractions.
At Imperial College London, Shaun developed formal mathematical foundations for real-time electricity market coordination, including scarcity-aware allocation, programmable fairness rules, and mechanisms for cyber-physical energy systems. Enleashed turns that work into an exchange where price reflects physical reality, dispatch is network-constrained, and settlement is evidence-backed.
Mechanism design
Allocation rules, scarcity coordination, cost-causation pricing and programmable fairness in electricity markets
Network-aware exchange
Holarchic market architecture, network state inference, bounded local price signals, and constrained dispatch
Energy systems
DER integration, DSO flexibility, local constraint costs, network data integration and practical market design
Product strategy
Exchange architecture, asset registration, participant onboarding, evidence generation and route-to-market
Turning exchange infrastructure into a credible commercial platform.
Blake leads finance, capital strategy and commercial structuring at Enleashed. His role is to ensure the company translates deep technical advantage into a fundable, scalable product — with the right business model, the right commercial positioning, and the right capital strategy to build exchange infrastructure that can operate at market scale.
Exchange infrastructure is not just a technical idea — it is a market entry strategy. Blake shapes how the company captures value while remaining aligned with the central thesis: fair price, network-aware dispatch, and transparent settlement for every participant.
Finance
Capital strategy, financial modelling, fundraising and infrastructure investment logic for market-building companies

FinanceWe are building the engineering team.
Following our first funding round, we are looking for engineers who want to build exchange infrastructure for the energy transition. If you care about climate, distributed energy, and technically demanding market-design problems, we want to hear from you.
Exchange and settlement engineer
Build the exchange engine, market clearing logic, network state inference, and settlement evidence infrastructure. Experience with Python, time-series data, optimisation or auction theory useful.
Network data integration engineer
Build integrations for DNO/DSO network datasets, asset-level metering, and real-time grid state. Work on data pipelines, constraint modelling, and network-aware dispatch evidence.
Investors, partners and pilots.
We are building the exchange. If you are an investor, a DSO, a generator, or a supplier who wants to be involved early, talk to us.
