Smart Cheerful
Slim Opgewekt is a social enterprise with the aim of achieving sustainability. We measure this in CO2 savings. We believe that doing good and doing good business go hand in hand. Because sustainability only works if the figures are positive.
About Smart Cheerful
We are positive about the opportunities of sustainability and want to leave the earth better than you find it now. Slim Opgewekt therefore makes social real estate more sustainable. Our total approach consists of a clear financial plan, raising awareness about sustainability, realizing solar power and the installation of our dynamic LED light system; the Educube.
Growth
Success factor
The success factor of Slim Opgewekt is the complete combination of technology, financing and awareness, which convinces a director to say 'yes' to sustainability. Slim Opgewekt knows how to translate the importance of schools, sports clubs and healthcare institutions into concrete sustainable measures.

- Slim Opgewekt finances (if desired)
- Slim Opgewekt makes users aware of sustainability

Spending purpose
The demand for our solution is greater than we can currently handle. We expect to grow from 145 sustainable locations (schools, healthcare and sports complexes) to 850 locations in the next five years. This allows us to save 82.000.000 kilos of CO2!
We want to accelerate our goal of making the Netherlands more sustainable. For this we need to expand our reach, which will increase our turnover. We therefore want to borrow a maximum of 3.600.000 euros from investors. We want to use the money from the bonds for the following three activities:
- We want to scale our impact to 850 locations;
- We want to be ready for the next s-curve: gas-free;
- We want to build and furnish an 'Experience center'.
You can read what the s-curve means for Smart Opgewekt in the prospectus , chapter 7.6.
Markt
Slim Opgewekt focuses on three specific markets: schools, sports clubs and healthcare.
Competition
What Slim Opgewekt does seems at first glance to be replicable. However, experience shows that in practice it is a lot more difficult to successfully make social real estate more sustainable than one imagines in theory. Slim Opgewekt is the only professional party that has focused on education for years.
One of our distinctive strengths is that we realize what we promise and only communicate about that. That's different from some competitors. It was sometimes difficult to follow our beliefs, not to shout from the rooftops what we wanted to achieve, but to stick to our strategy that sustainability is about trust. And you build trust by proving what you achieve. This strategy turned out to be the right one. Slim Opgewekt has become the market leader.
Awards & prizes
Our success does not go unnoticed: We have been named young entrepreneur of the year and pearl of the region. As a fast-growing company, we were FD Gazelle in 2017 and will be again in 2018! We are particularly proud as the winner of the Triodos Heart Prize, which declared us the most inspiring and innovative company.
