Gridware

Gridware is solving the critical problem of detecting faults in the electrical grid, particularly in remote areas where infrastructure is aging and climate risks are increasing. Faults like downed power lines and equipment failures can lead to devastating consequences, including wildfires, outages, and costly repairs. Traditional monitoring systems are slow, inaccurate, and expensive to maintain, which is why we developed advanced sensors to detect and mitigate these issues in real-time. We decided to work on this because the grid is the backbone of modern society, and improving its safety and reliability is essential for meeting growing energy demands and combating the increasing threat of extreme weather.

Gridware’s long-term vision is to create a world where the electrical grid is resilient and adaptable to the demands of the future. By providing real-time fault detection and predictive insights, we aim to prevent outages, reduce wildfire risks, and enhance grid reliability. If we succeed, communities will experience fewer disruptions, safer environments, and a grid that can sustainably support the increasing demands of electrification and renewable energy integration. Our success means a future where the grid not only powers progress but also protects lives and infrastructure.
