42 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 12 As for what the future holds for Facility Innovations Group, LeVeck said the company is constantly fielding inquiries from suitors looking for acquisitions in the energy decarbonization space. “We closed a very successful seed funding round,” he said, and the company may consider opening a Series A investment round in the coming year. “Our business model is unique for the middle market,” said LeVeck. “Companies like Ameresco, Siemens and Schneider Electric do what we do for the ‘MUSH’ market – municipalities, universities, state governments and hospital chains – but our primary competitor is usually either an engineering consulting firm that tells you where it hurts – but then doesn’t do anything about the pain – or a single source solution provider: a lighting contractor; a mechanical contractor; or perhaps a solar contractor. We just don’t run into other companies in our Fortune 1000, middle market space that take our holistic approach.” Sounds like a fast-growing business with a pretty bright future. On a personal note, LeVeck adds, “The amazing acceleration and growth of the market for decarbonization initiatives is what drives me. We are building this company by hiring very smart engineers and subject matter experts and we’re helping our customers build a better future. It’s really exciting to come to work every day.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Rebate Bus www.rebatebus.com n Marque Engineering www.marqueeng.com
