Notable investors include actor Leonardo DiCaprio, early Uber backers, Daniel Servitje (CEO of Bimbo), and founders from Tesla, Paypal, Stripe, and the Inter-American Development Bank. Thomas Hougaard of the Danish Government Investment Fund praised Bright’s professionalism and potential to provide high-quality, affordable solar energy solutions.

The Series C financing, led by the Danish IFU, highlights investor confidence in Bright’s growth trajectory and its contribution to renewable energy expansion in Mexico.
