Gaiascope ('Gaia') is dedicated to maintaining planetary balance and combating climate change. Gaia's focus is the electric grid of the future: building the 'brain' for, arguably, humanity's most complex invention to date. Through software built to make the electric grid easier to understand and profit from, Gaia helps enable billions of individual components like electric vehicles, solar farms, and demand response to operate effectively, and in parallel. Gaia's software is a turnkey solution aimed at providing the most accurate, probabilistic, nodal price forecasts across timescales, enabled by (1) highly compute-efficient, modular code, (2) differentiated data, and (3) a practical approach to physical modeling and machine learning that values transparency over 'black boxes'. These price forecasts enable Gaia to offer advice on client needs such as day-ahead bidding and optimal timing of dispatch. The Gaia team is also working to expand their forecasts to enable optimal siting and hedging of assets based on projected long-term market dynamics. To prove its software works Gaia actively participates as a market participant using its own price forecasts, and generated 70% returns in 2021.

Humankind will continue its steady march toward progress: billions of people will join the middle-class, gain access to technology, and have the means to participate in the future economy. This positive transformation will inevitably spark existential threats: per capita CO2 will increase, our need of finite resources will grow, and the inequality gap will widen. However, we believe in a prosperous future where sustainability is the defining business practice globally. Todays prevalent technologies must be applied to get there. Mission One Capital is at the forefront of this shift to where sustainable investing becomes the new "business as usual."
