Cosa fa Outerport

Building out new LNG plants, HVAC systems, or semiconductor processes rely on hundreds of iterations of feasibility testing (through simulation or real-world lab tests) where different designs (combinations of equipment) and parameters are validated. The parameters are often locked in PDFs (datasheets, wiring diagrams, PFDs/P&IDs) which take thousands of hours to convert into CSVs / JSONs, and the simulators don't have an easy API to work with. Outerport bridges the gap by finding documents from PLMs, extracting structured data from drawings, building a knowledge graph over them, and building autonomous AI agents that can fully automate this R&D process by running simulations and performing design checks.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

AI tools for engineering R&D automation

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

We build software that ingests and searches PLMs, extracts structured data from complex engineering drawings locked in PDFs, and builds knowledge graphs over them. Our AI agents run simulations and design checks autonomously to automate feasibility testing for projects like LNG plants, HVAC systems, and semiconductor processes.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA. Outerport will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in San Francisco gives us access to engineers and product teams in the industrial tech space, plus proximity to YC and the startup ecosystem, which helps with hiring and partnerships.
