Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation. To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. Were applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, were building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems. We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes. Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. Our cargo aircraft enables remote connectivity, enhances express delivery networks, and ensures fast and reliable shipping of critical supplies to areas in need. Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce C02 emissions in their respective industries. What we work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day.

Powering the future with the Earth’s hidden heat. Geothermal is carbon-free, always-on power but most of the world’s geothermal resources remain undiscovered and undeveloped. Zanskar is changing that. We take a AI and data-driven, scalable approach to geothermal discovery and development combining modern geoscience and advanced field methods to identify and tap into overlooked or underutilized geothermal resources. By making geothermal faster and more predictable to develop, we’re unlocking its potential to deliver gigawatts of clean, firm energy and to become a cornerstone of our future energy system.

RenoRun is a leading e-commerce platform for construction and building materials that are disrupting the construction industry. We enable construction, contracting, and renovation professionals to build the world around us using technology. RenoRun was born in 2017 with the insight that contractors and their employees spend too much time away from their job sites procuring materials. Before building out the concept, our co-founders, three construction industry veterans, would sit in different hardware store parking lots around Montreal, keeping count of anyone coming out in work boots, driving vans, and pickup trucks. Their observations led them to conclude that over a thousand contractors and construction workers were circulating hardware stores in Montreal every hour. With this data in hand, they decided to set out on a crusade to better serve contractors and to revolutionize the construction industry. RenoRun currently has 500 employees in six markets across the U.S. and Canada. With headquarters in Montreal, QC, additional office locations include Toronto, ON, Omaha, NE, Chicago, IL and Washington, D.C. We continue to pride ourselves on being the most contractor-centric brand in the world and are driven by the belief that construction professionals deserve to get time back and focus on the job at hand.
