About Revert Technologies

Revert Technologies was founded by two talented entrepreneurs from Yale University who couldn’t believe that, in the US alone, $48 billion is wasted annually by appliances drawing electricity when they are not even in use. This phenomenon is commonly known as phantom power or vampire energy. Moreover, the opportunity to mitigate this waste in the commercial sector was so compelling they developed a proprietary energy management platform that leverages smart internet of things (IoT) power adapters, AI, and utility pricing analytics to help businesses manage plugged-in appliances, automatically turning power off and on to save electricity while avoiding disruptions to regular operations.

Revert Technologies is a venture backed, rapidly growing early stage company with huge upside. It is run by a mission-driven, close-knit team that thrives to exceed client expectations.

As a company, we offer hybrid work, opportunities for professional development, and competitive pay and benefits. Energize your future and join our team as we pursue a reliable, sustainable, and efficient energy future!
