Seed round · Phase 1
The thesis. The opportunity. The raise.
An uncrowded vertical, policy-backed demand, and an operator with the AI depth and commercial record to execute.
Investment thesis
Four structural advantages.
01
Policy-backed demand meets an underpenetrated AI vertical. The US Inflation Reduction Act and EU Critical Raw Materials Act tie capital and statutory deadlines to domestic mineral supply.
US IRA · EU CRMA
02
Fifteen years of AI/ML execution plus enterprise commercial relationships, combined with natural-resource domain positioning that generalist AI teams do not have.
EXECUTION · RELATIONSHIPS · DOMAIN
03
Proprietary pipelines and models trained on natural-resource signals. The registries are public; the normalisation, scoring and monitoring built on top of them are not.
USGS · BLM · TEXAS RRC
04
Asset compounding, platform SaaS revenue and non-dilutive grant funding, three value-creation levers running in parallel rather than a single software bet.
DOE · ARPA-E · SBIR
The “uncrowded vertical” claim is asserted, not yet evidenced. PLACEHOLDERS B3.

Status
