Arbor is the first robo-advisor for energy, saving people an estimated $500 in the first year by monitoring how much they pay for energy and helping them automatically switch to a cheaper rate with the same utility. Today, Arbor is available to homeowners and renters across 50 million households in deregulated energy markets, which includes most of the Northeast, Midwest, and Texas. Arbor founder and CEO Andrew Meyer says that the energy robo-adviser is only the first product and that Arbor plans to develop more tools around energy and data.
