Company
EARTH AI
Predictive explorer and driller for metal deposits
We build an AI system that predicts where critical metal deposits are underground, dramatically improving success rates from 0.5% to 66%. Our product also includes low disturbance drilling technology to test sites faster and cheaper. This lets mining companies find and evaluate deposits more efficiently while reducing environmental impact.
We're based in San Francisco and San Mateo, California, and plan to stay here after YC.
The Bay Area gives us access to AI talent and mining industry contacts. It's also where our founding team and early employees live.
