Every generation inherits a hard problem, along with the chance to turn it into the next generation’s opportunity. Ours is how we power our homes. Our mission is clear: Move humanity off fossil fuels in the home.
Most North American homes still burn fossil fuels for heat. Quilt is building the modern home energy system to change that. Our first product is a heat pump that gets more efficient over time and is installed by a fast-growing network of Quilt Certified Partners. Not just electric and sustainable, but better in every way.
Paul Lambert
Paul founded Quilt after committing himself to designing a company that he could spend the rest of his life on. A breakthrough came in 2022 after realizing the answer was working on whatever problem was most threatening to the next generation of humans and that the problem today is climate change. Paul built his first internet business as a teenager, founded Learndot, an education platform, and was a Partner at Google’s Area 120. He prefers to sleep at a cool 65° F.
