Fitness Tracker for a Factory: Stanford grad Lauren Dunford at Guidewheel is using real-time data to streamline manufacturing. Using wireless sensors clipped directly onto equipment, and an AI-driven dashboard for interpreting data, Guidewheel has developed a platform compact enough to ship in a cardboard box and simple enough for customers to install themselves.

Congrats to Sasankh Munukutla and the whole Terradot team!
Today, we’re excited to officially launch Terradot with $58.2M in funding! We’re transforming Earth’s most powerful natural carbon removal process—silicate rock weathering—into a scalable climate solution through Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). ?? Why we’re excited: $58.2M in funding led by John Doerr, joined by Sheryl Sandberg & Tom Bernthal, George Roberts, Microsoft's Climate Innovation Fund, Google, Cisco Foundation, Kleiner Perkins, Floodgate, Acre Venture Partners, Gigascale Capital, Valor Capital Group, Ponderosa Ventures and others. Nearly 300,000 tonnes of carbon removal sold, including a $27M purchase by Stripe's Frontier Climate buyers for 90,000 tonnes and Frontier member Google’s largest-ever single CDR purchase—200,000 tonnes. Starting in Brazil, an optimal location thanks to its tropical climate, agricultural scale, and clean energy grid. We believe ERW has the greatest potential to deliver gigaton-scale, permanent carbon removal this decade. But achieving that potential will be far harder than most realize. That’s why we built Terradot: to advance the hard science and build the technology required to activate the thousands of existing silicate rock quarries worldwide into scalable CDR hubs. Backed by the world’s strongest coalition—spanning industry, academia, and government—we’re taking a bold bet on unlocking ERW’s massive potential. The road ahead won’t be easy: millions of soil samples, snake-filled fields, and no guarantees of success await. The stakes couldn’t be higher. ?? This is just the beginning. If you’re a scientist pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, an engineer ready to build, or an operator obsessed with execution—come join us. Let’s work together to stabilize Earth’s climate. ??

Raj Tilwa, MBA ’24: Targeted heating systems to help cool the planet The Impact Founder Ecopreneurship Fellow, who also benefited from the Precourt Institute's Stanford Climate Ventures course and the TomKat Center's Innovation Transfer program, is electrifying personal heating systems for homes and businesses. Tilwa and his friend Rohan Pandya have developed an innovative heating solution through their startup, Focal. Their system provides targeted heating for individual users, particularly in outdoor dining spaces, as an alternative to traditional propane space heaters. The technology uses custom optics, hardware, and robotics to deliver precision heat to specific seats, controlled by users through QR codes. The system offers significant environmental benefits, producing 92% less carbon dioxide equivalent than conventional propane heaters. It employs AI to learn user preferences and includes visual sensing to detect occupancy, only operating when needed. Focal operates on a subscription model for restaurants, requiring no upfront costs and running on electricity rather than fossil fuels. The company has secured nearly $2 million in funding and is moving into mass production after successful pilots in San Francisco restaurants. Tilwa envisions expanding beyond restaurants to homes, offices, and warehouses. He sees this as an opportunity to contribute to building decarbonization while providing personalized comfort solutions.
