Gridware&rsquo;s mission is to create a future where suburban wildfires are a thing of the past. We provide a truly full-stack (hardware + firmware + software) solution for real-time monitoring of America's power distribution grid. The system centers around low-cost hardware platforms that are easily and permanently deployed to power poles. The platform detects and predicts faults that ignite wildfires, expedites repairs during power outages, and helps utilities demonstrate risk reduction to regulators through comprehensive asset health profiles.
Gridware is a privately-held company with funding from top VCs including True Ventures, Fifty Years, and Y-combinator, with the support from California Energy Commission.
We operate in Walnut Creek, California.
