Tyba is a San Francisco-based climate software company that helps energy companies develop, model, and operate battery energy storage projects more profitably. Its AI-driven platform pairs a Project Simulation product - which backtests and forecasts revenue for storage assets in development - with an Asset Operations product that automates real-time bidding and dispatch in wholesale power markets like ERCOT and CAISO. Founded in 2022 by former energy developers and infrastructure engineers, Tyba positions itself as the 'autopilot for batteries,' emphasizing transparent, non-black-box optimization. The company raised a $13.9M Series A led by Energize Capital in February 2025.
Hammerhead AI is a Redwood City data center infrastructure startup that uses reinforcement learning agents to turn stranded power into usable AI compute. Its ORCA platform (Orchestrated RL Control Agents) coordinates power, cooling, and GPU workloads in real time so operators can raise token throughput by up to 30% within their existing power envelope - without waiting for new grid capacity. Founded in 2024 by former AutoGrid executives Rahul Kar and Rajeev Singh, the company emerged from stealth in November 2025 with a $10M seed round led by Buoyant Ventures.
