About us

Together we make climate protection simple and profitable.

An idea revolutionizes heat management for non-residential buildings.

We are vilisto. passionate. empathetic. creative.

We are a complementary team of over 80 passionate developers, empathetic communicators, result-oriented doers and creative designers who make our products a little better every day. This is how we increase our impact on the energy and heat transition and make our contribution to climate protection. We want to continuously expand this – for a sustainable and livable future on our planet.

The idea for vilisto came from our three founders Christoph Berger, Lasse Stehnken and Christian Brase. Already during their studies, they realized that non-residential buildings are mostly heated inefficiently and that the solutions available on the market are not able to solve this challenge comfortably.

Since then, we have stood for a world in which people automatically consume only as much energy as they need for their personal well-being.
