EMEX is a Houston, Texas-based energy technology company founded in 2007 that operates in the commercial energy procurement and exchange space, as indicated by its domain (energymarketexchange.com) and its core business activity. The firm operates a marketplace platform that connects commercial energy buyers with competing retail energy suppliers in deregulated U.S. markets, and it expanded its capability set through the 2016 acquisition of Texas Energy Aggregation, adding energy aggregation services to its procurement offering. The company is privately held, headquartered in Houston, and operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees, with executive leadership comprising CEO Daniel Marzuola and CTO Jason Ives. In May 2018, EMEX secured a growth investment from O2 Investment Partners, a middle-market private equity firm, providing institutional capital to scale platform operations. The business model is B2B, monetizing through fees on energy procurement transactions, supplier-side commissions, and aggregation services for commercial customers navigating deregulated retail energy markets.

Note on input data quality: the source material includes an attribution labeled describing EMEX as a Mexican mango export trade association, which is inconsistent with all other input signals (Houston domicile, energymarketexchange.com domain, Texas Energy Aggregation acquisition, O2 Investment Partners PE backing, and U.S.-based technology executive team). The firmographic and transactional data are treated as authoritative for the company description; the mango-export framing is treated as a data-attribution error.

The broader scraped content (mantisinnovation.com website text describing building controls, energy efficiency, and facility management solutions) is unrelated to EMEX and is excluded from the company description as a data contamination error.
