The Amber story

Amber was founded by two Aussie mates, Chris Thompson and Dan Adams in December 2017 with the goal of using new technologies to benefit customers and build a more sustainable world.

Chris is motivated by using new technologies to improve people’s lives. Prior to Amber, Chris worked in Iran running Bamilo, Iran’s largest online marketplace and before that was with the Boston Consulting Group.

Dan is passionate about moving the world towards 100% renewable energy. He’s spent the last 10 years working with Tesla, the Boston Consulting Group and building social movements around climate change.

Amber is owned by Chris & Dan, Amber’s employees, and our investors. All Amber staff are granted shares when they join the team. The Amber team is passionate about climate impact and takes deep ownership and responsibility in driving Amber’s mission forward. Amber is also backed by Australia’s leading VCs (including Square Peg Capital and Main Sequence Ventures), impact-focused investors and individuals, and most recently by CommBank. The support from our investors helps us fast track the transition to 100% renewable energy - with a million Amber customers we could shift enough demand to replace an entire coal fired power station with wind and solar farms.
