AI Energy Management
We are building Leafpress, an AI-native utility management system for enterprises. It uses AI models to analyze and optimize energy usage across large commercial buildings and infrastructure, helping clients reduce costs and carbon footprint without manual monitoring.
We do not have a fixed location; we are remote. After YC, we will likely remain remote to stay flexible and reduce overhead.
Since we are a two-person team with no ties to a physical office, working remotely lets us focus on product development and talk directly to utilities and enterprise customers wherever they are.
