About Gridware
Gridware exists to enhance and protect the mother of all networks: the electrical grid. The grid touches everything and the consequences can be dire when it fails: wildfires burn, land is destroyed, property is damaged, and lives are lost.
Our team created an advanced sensing system to continuously analyze critical grid behavior. Utilizing high-precision sensor arrays and intelligence, our system identifies and preemptively mitigates faults. The technology has been proven with utilities to bolster safety, enhance reliability, and reduce outages. The demand for power will only increase. We protect the grid of today while we build the grid of tomorrow.
Gridware is privately held and backed by the best climate-tech and Silicon Valley investors. We are headquartered in San Francisco, California.
