In the next 30 years, the world will transform every part of the built environment to be climate positive green infrastructure. Knowing what, where, and how to build infrastructure like solar farms is one of the great opportunities of our time. Paces is software for green infrastructure developers to identify the best places to build and manage their projects. Our software supports renewable energy, EV charging, carbon sequestration and data center customers with interconnection, permitting and siting of their projects.
I’m the co-founder and CEO of Paces. Originally from Ireland, previously I was the founder of Hale, a personal training marketplace and held senior roles at Google acquired ML startup Hello Vera, B2B marketplace Respondent and fintech giant FactSet.
Charles is the co-founder and CTO of Paces. His background is in AI and data. In the past, he led AI efficiency at Facebook AI, and built data intensive solutions at various startups. Charles graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Computer Science. He is currently based in New York.
80% of clean energy projects developers start never actually get built because most projects are started without deep due diligence on zoning and interconnection due to the cost of collecting that data. This means $17B worth of cancelled projects per year.
Paces is software for green infrastructure developers to identify the best places to build and manage their projects.
First we collect environmental, permitting, zoning, energy grid data from various different sources; then we analyze the data and use AI to identify the best places for developers to build their next projects.
Our long term vision for Paces is for it to be the go-to software platform to enable the climate positive development of every piece of land on earth. With Paces:
Paces was founded by Charles and James in early 2022.
