Company
Traverse Technologies
AI driven professional engineering firm
We build AI-powered tools that accelerate the early engineering and feasibility analysis for renewable energy projects. Our product uses high-performance computing and automation to scan entire countries for optimal wind farm or hydropower dam sites. We then optimize project configurations at a granular level among billions of options, cutting the time for prospecting and front-end engineering by a factor of 10.
We live and work in Singapore. After YC, we plan to stay based in Singapore where our team and initial network are.
Singapore is where we're located and have built our product and initial user base. It's a hub for renewable energy projects and allows us access to clients and partners in Asia-Pacific, a region with major potential for infrastructure development.
