Noteworthy AI Overview

At Noteworthy AI, our mission is to improve the reliability, resiliency, and safety of the electric grid. Our vehicle-mounted cameras and AI help utilities and other grid operators increase their situational awareness of their assets while reducing costs. Our platform autonomously geolocates, photographs, and analyzes grid infrastructure as vehicles drive during routine operations, enabling more proactive grid management.

We’ve gained significant market traction, validation, and support from customers like Florida Power & Light, FirstEnergy Corp, and Alabama Power, investors like Earthshot Ventures and Techstars, and partners like Nvidia - so we are looking for great people to come and join our growing team!

We currently operate on a hybrid schedule based in our New Haven, CT office, facilitating in-person collaboration among team members.
