Bearing AI
Bearing AI is a Palo Alto-based maritime technology company that builds AI models to predict and optimize how ships perform at sea. By combining real-world vessel sensor data, satellite positioning and weather with deep learning, its platform forecasts fuel consumption, emissions, fleet deployment and market conditions - helping shipping companies cut carbon output, comply with tightening emissions rules like CII, and make better operational decisions. Founded in 2019 by Dylan Keil and David Liu and backed by Andrew Ng's AI Fund and Mitsui & Co., Bearing counts leading carriers such as 'K' Line, Hapag-Lloyd and IINO Lines among its users.
Dylan Keil
Dylan Keil is the co-founder and CEO of Bearing AI, a Palo Alto startup that uses artificial intelligence to cut carbon emissions and improve operations across the global maritime shipping fleet. A Stanford-trained mechanical engineer who grew up on college campuses, he built and sold the mobile sensor startup Chronos to Life360 before launching Bearing in 2019. Backed by Andrew Ng's AI Fund and Japanese shipping giant Mitsui & Co., Bearing predicts vessel fuel consumption, speed and carbon ratings without onboard sensors, helping shipowners navigate regulations like CII, EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime while saving fuel and money.
Clarasight
Clarasight is a New York-based AI platform for enterprise travel and expense. It unifies fragmented data from travel management companies, expense tools, corporate cards and HR systems into a single, AI-ready model, then helps teams automate workflows, forecast budgets, negotiate with suppliers, enforce policy and report on emissions - without ripping out the tools companies already use. Founded in 2021 as Climate Club with a sustainability mission, it rebranded to Clarasight in 2024 as it broadened from carbon planning into the broader operating system for travel and expense leaders. The company raised an $11.5M Series A led by AlleyCorp in April 2026.
Cortex Building Intelligence
Cortex Building Intelligence (now branded Cortex Sustainability Intelligence) is a New York and Nashville based proptech company that uses machine learning to help commercial real estate owners cut energy waste and carbon emissions. Founded in 2014 by Bryan Bennett, its energy insights platform turns raw building data into specific operational moves, helping office portfolios like Empire State Realty Trust, Silverstein Properties, Savanna, and RXR lower costs and meet decarbonization mandates such as NYC's Local Law 97.
Bryan Bennett
Bryan Bennett is the CEO and founder of Cortex (formerly Cortex Building Intelligence, now Cortex Sustainability Intelligence), a New York-based software company that uses machine learning to cut energy use, costs, and carbon emissions in commercial buildings. Raised in a family that worked commercial real estate for four decades and trained as a management consultant advising utilities on smart-grid technology, Bennett built Cortex around a simple observation: buildings generate thousands of data points every minute, and almost no one was turning that data into action. His software-only platform now optimizes more than 50 million square feet, including the Empire State Building.
