# Aeromine Technologies, Inc.

> Aeromine Technologies builds a motionless, bladeless rooftop wind energy system for commercial and industrial buildings. Its 10-foot units sit along a roof's edge and use vertical airfoils to capture and amplify a building's own airflow, generating electricity silently and without spinning blades. The company says the system can produce up to 50% more energy than a comparable rooftop solar array while using roughly 10% of the roof space, and it is designed to complement, not replace, solar. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Houston, Aeromine has run pilots with BASF and BMW Group and raised a ~$9M Series A led by Veriten in 2024.

## Products & services

- **Aeromine Rooftop Wind System** — A motionless, bladeless wind energy unit roughly 10 feet by 10 feet that mounts along a building's roof edge. Vertical airfoils create a vacuum effect that draws air through an internal generator, producing about 5 kilowatts per unit with no external moving parts, no noise, and no vibration.
- **Site assessment & performance software** — Cloud-based, digital-twin tools that use regional wind-resource and GIS data to model site-specific energy output, plus remote monitoring and performance management for deployed systems.

## Achievements

- Named to TIME's 200 Best Inventions of 2022
- Named a Top Building Product of 2023 by Building Design+Construction
- Named Startup of the Year by Texas Tech University
- Featured in The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and The Washington Post
- Technology validated through joint research with Sandia National Laboratories and Texas Tech University
- Reported ~11,000 inquiries from 6,500+ companies and ~400 qualified projects
