Powerful computing devices exist all around us: desktop computers, mobile phones, IoT hardware, electric vehicles, medical devices, etc. The always-on nature of devices is enabling a shift in the kinds of truly important information we can now access, and how quickly.
We believe advancements in software and connected devices are enabling a new wave of real-time feedback technologies. Whether it's real-time insight into company operations, instant tracking of essential data, or continuous monitoring of critical systems, these startups aim to revolutionize how information is collected and acted upon. We have already invested in several companies using real-time feedback to enhance decision-making processes and overall efficiency. Examples include Project Canary and First Resonance.
Project Canary is an environmental technology company that specializes in providing real-time emissions monitoring and environmental data management solutions, primarily for the energy industry. By combining innovative sensor technologies and digital reporting tools, Project Canary provides continuous monitoring of critical data to its customers. This helps customers reduce their environmental impact, ensure compliance with regulations, and build transparency and trust with stakeholders.
