What 75F does

75F is a Minnesota-headquartered IoT building automation company founded in 2012 that designs, manufactures, and supports a full-stack hardware and software platform for commercial HVAC, lighting, and indoor air quality control. The core technology combines wireless mesh IoT sensors and controllers (HyperStat thermostats, Smart Nodes, Central Control Units, Connect Modules) with a cloud analytics layer (Facilisight) and a proprietary AI optimization engine (Saffron AI, launched 2023) that performs predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and automated demand response on time-series building telemetry. The platform spans applications including multi-zone distribution, central plants, outside air optimization, single-zone air, WSHP/FCU control, IAQ management, and automated demand response, and has been validated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to deliver up to 31% total building energy savings across 14 building types relative to ASHRAE Guideline 36.

75F generates revenue through a quote-based subscription model that bundles proprietary hardware with annual software licenses (Saffron AI, Facilisight, Portfolio Analytics), with deal economics varying by building size, zone count, and portfolio scope. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a partner channel (installation contractors, HVAC service providers, energy efficiency companies) supported by the 75F University training program and Partner Portal. Customers span offices, retail, education, multi-family, hospitality, and warehouse/manufacturing segments, with named enterprise logos including Adobe, American Express, AT&T, Chevrolet, Colliers, HP, Mercedes-Benz, Michaels, Netflix, Novo Nordisk, Shell, and WeWork across nine countries in North America and Asia Pacific.

The company has raised approximately $73 million in cumulative equity, including a $28 million Series A (2021, led by Siemens/Next47 with Breakthrough Energy Ventures) and a $45 million Series B (February 2025, led by Accurant International's Net Zero Alliance with participation from Carrier Global Corporation, Climate Investment, Next47, WIND Ventures, and Breakthrough Energy Ventures). Headcount sits in the 51–100 range, and the company achieved SOC 2 compliance in December 2025 to support enterprise and regulated customer procurement.
