Nanoparticle tracers for reservoir characterization

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build nanoparticle fluorescent tracers designed to be injected into geothermal and oilfield reservoirs. These tracers allow operators to characterize the reservoir's properties and flow pathways more precisely during hydraulic fracturing and production.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco gives us access to technical talent and investors focused on hard tech and energy innovation, which fits the niche of GTRACK's sensor technology for reservoirs.
