Models are trained on the entire internet, but most of what happens on Earth is never written down. We turn those signals into training data so labs can make models better at science

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Signals from Earth for better AI science models.

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

We build Qokedas, a data platform that collects real-world signals scientists care about - things that never get written online and so are invisible to existing models. Our platform turns those signals into high-quality training data for AI labs working on science. Today, models are trained on the internet, but much of the world's scientific knowledge isn't online. We fill that gap so labs can make models that are much better at scientific reasoning.

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

We are based in San Francisco, CA, and will stay there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the center of AI, and being close to research labs and customers is a major advantage for us.
