Company mission

Enable a resilient electrical grid that keeps communities thriving as our world changes

Our take

Overstory applies artificial intelligence to high-resolution satellite imagery, providing grid resilience software for utilities. The company's combination of machine learning and satellite remote sensing data helps utility companies, the forestry industry, and NGOs predict and mitigate the risk of power outages and wildfires before they occur.

Backed by top climate tech investors, Overstory has secured clients including PG&E, OG&E and Hydro Ottawa. All this goes to show that its product and business model are considered attractive for the space.

Looking ahead, Overstory plans to use funds obtained to expand and accelerate product development, focusing on meaningful and actionable insights that help utilities take action to combat forest fires and outages.
