Gridware, a San Francisco, CA-based continuous power grid monitoring solution provider, raised $26.4M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Sequoia Capital.
The company intends to use the funds to further scale production of Gridscope™ devices and its monitoring and analytics service.
Led by CEO Tim Barat, Gridware provides technologies that enable a comprehensive service for power utilities to measure, understand, and take decisive action to protect the grid. By leveraging a network of advanced Gridscope sensors and on-device analysis, Gridware continuously monitors key grid assets, providing real-time insights into grid health. The platform ensures uninterrupted monitoring even when power lines are de-energized, thanks to its independent power supply.
Following an initial pilot with California-based PG&E last year, the pioneering utility has since expanded to a large-scale deployment covering more than 1,000 miles of power lines and 10,000 poles. Today, Gridware is trusted by utilities across North America, which serves millions of customers across ten U.S. states and counting.
