Verdigris Named Top Company Changing the World Through Artificial Intelligence
Verdigris Named to CB Insights “AI 100” List
We’re excited to announce that today, CB Insights named Verdigris Technologies to the prestigious Artificial Intelligence 100 list (“AI 100”), a select group of emerging private companies working on groundbreaking artificial intelligence technology. The winners were revealed during The Innovation Summit, a gathering of 400 top executives and investors to explore the industries of the future. Verdigris was one of just four companies recognized in the Industrial Internet of Things category.
We are proud to have our team recognized among the leading companies creating a sustainable future through artificial intelligence. We see first-hand every day from our customers how AI is improving automated demand management, and we are excited to be innovating the next generation of smart, connected, energy-efficient buildings.
The CB Insights research team selected the AI 100 winners based on a combination of data submitted by the companies, responses to interview questions, and the company’s Mosaic Score. Mosaic is an algorithm built with funding from the National Science Foundation that gives predictive intelligence into the health of private companies.
“The companies in the AI 100 are accelerating research, improving efficiency, and making many game-changing advancements that will be felt for decades to come,” CB Insights CEO and co-founder Anand Sanwal said.
Verdigris’ patented artificial intelligence platform and sensors transform large, mission critical facilities into living environments. Our artificial intelligence and IoT platform makes buildings smarter and more connected, while reducing energy consumption and costs. Each Verdigris sensor wirelessly streams thousands of samples per second from a building’s electrical panel to the cloud. From there, our AI then analyzes these electrical “fingerprints” to automatically optimize building controls, predict future breakdowns, and send users critical notifications about energy use. By analyzing this continuous stream of energy data, Verdigris drives smarter and more responsive building operations, saving customers tens of thousands to millions of dollars annually on energy and operational costs.
Some Quick facts on the AI 100:
