Cosa fa Rewbi

Rewbi uses AI to optimize grid-connected battery storage. We generate revenue by charging when electricity is cheap and discharging when electricity is expensive. We rent battery storage for a fixed fee per month, and we earn 2x that fee in monthly revenue by dispatching the battery optimally. Today, power companies use human traders to manually track grid conditions and update the battery’s dispatch schedule. However batteries can adjust their power output 100x faster than traditional power generation (e.g. hydro, coal, nuclear, gas), with the ability to go from full-speed charging to full speed discharging in under a minute. Electricity prices change every 5 minutes, often by 300% or more. Our AI better tracks 100s of live inputs, and it makes decisions faster than a human operator (with lower overhead!), improving revenue 2x.

AI that doubles battery storage revenue

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

We built software that uses AI to manage grid-connected battery storage. Our AI decides when to charge and discharge batteries based on electricity prices that update every 5 minutes. This lets battery operators double their revenue without manual intervention. The product handles real-time data and adjusts dispatch faster and more accurately than human traders can.

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

We live and work in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has access to the technical talent and energy industry connections we need. It's also where we're based now, so staying allows us to keep fast iteration and close control of product development.
