Company
Applied Electrodynamics, Inc.
A camera that sees through walls and solid objects.
We build imaging systems that see through solid matter, starting with a wall-penetrating camera for construction. Our device maps structural elements and utilities inside walls and ceilings to save time and avoid destructive work. The same core technology can later be applied to security screening and cargo inspection.
We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and will remain based here after YC.
San Francisco is where our team is based and where our target customers in construction and manufacturing are accessible. It's also where we recruit strong technical talent.
