Energsoft, Inc. provides an artificial intelligence-driven business to business (B2B) software as a service (SaaS) platform with state of the art visualization and analytics tools for companies that manufacture or use energy storage devices. The company's platform tracks thousands of batteries, ultracapacitors, and energy storage systems from early R&D to the field.

Our team would like to get funding to develop missing hardware integrations and the core of the intelligent agent system. The mission is to innovate and help to discover new materials that will generate and store renewable and clean energy in a low-cost. We are environmentally-caring organization and we want to make an impact at scale, because of energy storage perhaps the most important scientific challenge facing society today. However, all phases of this scientific process – design, synthesis, and characterization – are routinely stymied by the same challenge: researchers are not equipped to handle the deluge of data coming from their labs and high-performance computers.
