Long range, wireless energy distribution that scales

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

We build long-range wireless power networks that deliver scalable and resilient energy infrastructure. Our technology transmits energy wirelessly over distance, enabling new energy delivery models beyond traditional wired grids. This lets customers deploy energy infrastructure where wiring is impractical or cost prohibitive, supporting climate and energy applications.

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

We live and work in Redwood City, CA, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Redwood City is where we started from and where we've built our initial product and team. Staying local keeps our core engineering and operations efficient during YC.
