Big news: we closed $14M in Series A funding, led by @BCapitalGroup, and are welcoming @nature_org to our investor family. š±We're doubling down on tech and trees, helping utilities to safely and reliably power the world. overstory.com/blog/series-a-ā¦
ā”Today, we partner with 40 utilities globally, including 4 of the top 10 US utilities, helping to reduce wildfire risk and improve grid reliability worldwide. So far, weāve monitored 2M acres of land and protected $6B in utility assets. And weāve only just begun.
Our satellite imagery partners give us the bird's eye view we need to build the machine learning algorithms that fuel Overstory's veg intelligence.

The climate crisis is the most important challenge of our time, and we're fortunate to work with great investors like @MoxxieVentures who dig in and work alongside us to solve it.
š·Back to the fun part: building. Wonderful to spend the day with our portfolio company, @overstoryai, using AI for vegetation management to help prevent wildfires and deforestation.
Weāre thrilled to share weāve raised $5.2M in funding to support our fight against the #climatecrisis.

Weāve also welcomed two top 10 US utilities and one of Europeās largest utilities to our portfolio, along with investor-owned utilities and coops from CA to VA. Weāre excited to use this investment to keep building on our hyper-accurate, actionable #vegetationintelligence.
Record-breaking heat waves, droughts, and tree mortality mean utilities need smarter wildfire mitigation plans to meet reliability and resiliency goals.
Here's how innovative teams (like @holycrossenergy) are making cost-effective wildfire plans work. štdworld.com/vegetation-managā¦
