Company
Nira Energy
Software to find best renewable sites on the grid
We built a map-based tool that shows renewable energy developers the available capacity at every interconnection point on the electrical grid. It lets users find where to site solar and other renewable projects to maximize profitability by tapping into grid capacity that others miss. Customers like AES and Cypress Creek use it to avoid costly interconnection risks and delays.
We all live remote and the company is fully remote; we plan to keep it distributed after YC.
Being remote allows us to hire talent across geographies and stay close to customers who operate across many states. The product is digital and serves a distributed market, so a single office location isn't necessary.
