SwarmLens builds industrial AI that helps energy operators make faster, better-evidenced decisions on cost and risk. Our live platform, AssureLens, searches and connects drilling reports, well plans, costs and lessons learned. It reuses that historical evidence for planning, cost benchmarking and AFE (authorization for expenditure) analysis. Every recommendation is source-linked and reviewed by a human expert before approval. RiskLens, now in development, extends the same approach to operational, asset and project risk management. We work alongside industry experts and have built a library of over 1,000 domain-specific use cases on 20+ years of industry data. We have 4 pilots with operators in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Latin America. In one, a 6–8 week manual review now takes under a week. In another, our analysis estimates 3–8% lower drilling cost. SwarmLens is based in Dallas, with a delivery center in India and channel partners in 10+ countries.

Mantle Flux sits at the intersection of deep-geothermal innovation and high-temperature aerospace engineering. Translating NASA's extreme-environment technology into a continuous, self-casing drilling platform directly targets the largest cost and depth drivers in classical geothermal development.

ChargeHives develops innovative mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and EV charging solutions for commercial and industrial applications. Our scalable, high-performance systems provide reliable, flexible energy storage and power delivery, supporting EV charging, off-grid operations, peak demand management, and temporary power needs. We aim to accelerate the transition to cleaner, more efficient energy through advanced battery technology and strategic partnerships.

Krowd Guide helps teams responsible for energy and infrastructure projects keep the outside evidence behind a site decision current. We monitor covered public records around power, water, land, approvals, infrastructure, and neighboring activity—showing what changed, the source, and what needs review.

Energia AI is an AI-powered HVAC optimization platform for commercial buildings. It connects to existing building management systems and continuously optimizes HVAC operations using real-time building data, weather, occupancy, and energy conditions to reduce energy costs and emissions without requiring major equipment upgrades.

The Next Evolution of Utility Data

Evoa Systems is building one design and proposal platform for every energy trade on a project. Today, selling a multi trade energy job means separate software, separate designers and separate estimates for solar, heating and cooling, geothermal, envelope, electrical and plumbing, and pulling them into one offer is slow and too complex for one salesperson to explain. Evoa puts every trade on one shared model, whether the team is in house or a partner firm, so a change to one trade updates every affected trade and notifies everyone on the project. The result is one proposal with every trade, the total cost and the ROI, built in minutes. We are building for the general contractors who sell and deliver energy and utility projects, and the partner firms they work with. Evoa Systems is in development and based in Buffalo, NY.

Servicing energy companies in projects, risk, and valuations with a subsurface focus

PowerGenX improves warehousing and distribution center throughput by up to 27% by replacing lead acid batteries in material handling equipment (forklifts) with hydrogen fuel cell technology. The company also offers portable power generators as well and microgrid power systems based on the same fuel cell technology.

At Arqaios, we embed AI and advanced motion sensing directly into the energy infrastructure (light switches, power outlets and air vents), and reduce energy consumption by up to 40% while extending power backup systems by up to 60%, all passively and without invading privacy.

AI Permit is revolutionizing environmental compliance for the oil, gas, and energy sectors. We envisioned a platform where intelligence and execution live in one place—allowing AI to do the heavy lifting behind the scenes. By putting the complex permitting process on co-pilot, we empower energy operators and environmental consultants to move faster with total confidence. From streamlining workflows to ensuring regulatory precision, we elevate the permitting experience so your operations stay compliant, on time, and on budget.

EnnoFlow is building an energy-aware distributed AI infrastructure platform. EnnoBox transforms existing powered and connected locations into compute nodes, while Enna dynamically orchestrates workloads across the network based on economics, availability, latency, and energy. At scale, EnnoFlow creates aggregated, low-latency inference capacity for enterprises and hyperscalers.

sees.ai is a Boeing-backed provider of level-4 autonomous drone inspection services for critical infrastructure. Founded in 2018 in the UK, sees.ai specialises in Asset Health Monitoring and Quality Assurance Inspections for electricity transmission and distribution networks, helping grid operators transform inspection data from a compliance obligation into a strategic asset. The company already has established contracts across major European transmission system operators (TSOs) and is now expanding into the US market to deliver safer, faster, and more cost-effective inspection of grid infrastructure at scale.

FocisAI turns industrial 3D scans into an asset intelligence layer for safer, faster facility operations.

Zensys is building the intelligent infrastructure layer for the AI home — starting with HVAC. Its intelligent vent system uses room-level sensing, airflow control, and edge AI to optimize comfort and energy use while creating a private, connected infrastructure for future Home AI applications. Zensys aims to turn every home into a smarter, more efficient and responsive energy asset.

Testing startup..VoltVanguard is a decentralized energy management platform that aggregates commercial battery storage, solar arrays, and EV charging infrastructure into dynamic Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). Powered by a predictive machine-learning engine, the software analyzes real-time grid congestion, weather data, and spot-market electricity pricing to automatically dispatch stored power during peak demand periods. This asset-light platform maximizes yield for commercial real estate owners by up to 24% while providing critical ancillary load-balancing services to local utility operators.
