BurnBot is a venture-backed technology start-up developing state-of-the-art wildland fire and forestry technology to scale wildfire mitigation efforts and prevent catastrophic wildfires. Our mission is to scale wildfire mitigating fuel treatments, through the use of technology, to protect against the risk of catastrophic wildfires by utilizing our unique ecosystem of wildfire and forestry technologies. The BurnBot technology ecosystem is designed to maximize operational capacity and augment existing capabilities, enabling fire practitioners to accomplish more and reach their treatment goals, especially in sensitive areas near population centers, critical infrastructure, and the wildland-urban interface, fortifying neighborhoods, communities, and the ecosystem against the threat of catastrophic wildfires.

Delos is a digital property insurance provider for homeowners in catastrophe areas. Insurance is difficult to find in high risk regions; few insurers write in these areas and the ones that do are expensive and slow. One main cause for this problem is low resolution catastrophe models, which have caused regular insurers to pull out of high risk areas. Our team has extensive experience in data science and aerospace engineering and is creating new, higher-resolution catastrophe models. We use these models to create a new home risk rating system. We will also use our models to innovate on product, actively managing our client's risk and helping them prepare for their likely perils.

Fire Aside provides software solutions to help communities adapt to wildfires. Their platform helps residents assess and improve their fire safety by providing them with customized reports and recommendations. The company was founded in 2019 and is based in San Anselmo, California.

Firemaps makes it easy to defend your home from wildfires. We create a virtual risk analysis of your home, followed by a treatment plan with specific defensible space and hardening recommendations. Once you approve, we handle the onsite contracting work.

Gridware provides a grid monitoring system of sensors and software for the power distribution grid. The system centers around a low-cost hardware platform that is easily and permanently deployed to power poles. The platform detects and predicts faults that ignite wildfires, expedites repairs during a power outage, and helps utilities demonstrate risk reduction to regulators through comprehensive asset health profiles.

Instinct is using wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to revolutionize environmental monitoring. Promoting environmental resilience is at the forefront of our mission. Our platform serves as the one-stop-shop for forestry, agricultural and environmental monitoring, bringing timely, powerful insights to natural resource management industries and enabling data-driven operations. At Instinct, we are dedicated to creating robust, technological approaches to environmental monitoring.

Megafire Action has one mission: to end the megafire crisis within a decade. In the last 40 years we’ve seen a new type of fire emerge: Megafire. Megafires burn 100k acres or more, often with an intensity that devastates ecosystems. And they’re getting more common every year: 17 of California’s 20 largest fires have happened in the last 20 years. Megafire Action is the first organization focused solely on enacting policies to solve this crisis. We want prevention and mitigation to get the same focus as suppression and emergency response. Getting there will mean bringing good fire back into Western ecosystems and creating thousands of jobs in rural communities. We’ll also need to improve our ability to detect, track, and predict megafire behavior. Megafire is solvable, but we need solutions that meet the scale and urgency of the problem. A lot needs to happen and we’re going to hold policymakers accountable for progress.

Overstory is on a mission to become the standard in predictive planet intelligence. Understanding every m² on Earth. The planet is under pressure. Data-driven information is needed to improve decision making about our natural resources. By applying machine learning to satellite imagery Overstory creates insights about the quantity and quality of forests and other natural resources.

Pano AI (Pano) is the leader in early wildfire detection and intelligence, providing government, utilities, insurers, and private landowners with advanced tools and up-to-the-minute intelligence to quickly mitigate wildfire threats while protecting lives, property, and the environment. Pano combines advanced hardware, artificial intelligence, and software in a single integrated enterprise solution. Leveraging data and satellite feeds, as well as propriety imagery from a network of ultra-high-definition, 360-degree cameras atop high vantage points, Pano’s artificial intelligence model produces a real-time picture of threats in a geographic region and delivers immediate, actionable intelligence.

Rain adapts military and civil autonomous aircraft with the intelligence to perceive, understand, and suppress wildfires. Our technology equips fire agencies with a new layer of safety for human-piloted missions, and enables efficient command of a network of uncrewed aircraft prepositioned in remote areas to reduce response time.

Treeswift is building a new data and monitoring system for the natural world by pushing the frontier in robotic and machine learning technology. Treeswift provides forest inventories, which are powered by a first-of-its-kind robotic and machine learning technology. Treeswift’s suite of high-resolution sensors operate underneath the forest canopy and replace traditional forest measurement tools. By moving this sensor suite through the forest, Treeswift conducts cruises, capturing data at the tree-level, which then is processed through state-of-the-art algorithms to produce forest inventories. Treeswift’s data analytics can be used across forest management practices including carbon capture estimation, timber value estimation, deforestation monitoring, and advanced growth forecasting.

WindBorne develops, manufactures, and operates a network of long-duration smart weather balloons. The company provides weather data to the government and other agencies, and the platform contributes to reducing and eventually eliminating the world's immediate destructive effects of climate change.
