Treeswift

Treeswift is a startup based in the United States, founded in 2020, that focuses on AI-augmented vegetation management, with a slogan of "AI-augmented vegetation management". The company's primary goal is to empower utilities by utilizing AI to manage vegetation effectively, reducing risk, and improving reliability across transmission and distribution systems. Treeswift achieves this through the use of backpack and vehicle-mounted sensors, which seamlessly integrate into existing patrols to gather imagery and LiDAR data. These data are then translated into actionable analytics and 360° field context for encroachment, strike potential, and failure risk through Treeswift’s AI software platform. The platform is designed for vegetation management experts, arborists, and tree crews. Treeswift recently secured a $10.81M Venture Round investment on 07 September 2023. The startup operates within several industries including AI, ESG, Information Technology, Robotics, and Machine Learning. It's important to note that the company was founded by a team of AI and robotics PhDs at the University of Pennsylvania, showcasing the expertise and academic foundation of its founders. This recent investment sets Treeswift on a path for potential growth and further development in the field of AI-augmented vegetation management.
