## About

Founded in 2016 and based in California, US, Earth AI Inc. develops an AI-powered geological survey platform for mining and mineral exploration. Roman Teslyuk is the founder and current CEO of the company. In January 2025, Earth AI Inc. raised USD 20 million in series B funding co-led by new investor Tamarack Global and returning investor Cantos Ventures, with participation from other returning investors Y Combinator and Scrum Ventures. Other new investors Overmatch, Alpaca, Sparkwave Capital, and other unspecified investors also participated in the round.

The firm has created a technological technique for locating and evaluating rare metal deposits. It utilizes machine learning techniques on big data, such as remote sensing, radiometry, geophysical and geochemical data in order to find signatures or traces of such deposits. The company has developed a low-impact drilling operation using unique in-house manufactured hardware that allows for quick site movement and logistics, eliminates the need for groundworks, and essentially eliminates the environmental impact of metal prospecting. From geological mapping to drone-based geophysical surveys and exploration drilling, the company has vertically field activities throughout all stages of mineral research.
