The Project Development Platform for climate tech and emerging industrial companies, that makes techno-economic and project finance modeling faster, smarter, and more reliable
Former VC—understands what makes projects fundable from both sides
Built AI systems that work in the physical world with high reliability and safety requirements
Jesse Montrose — Co-founder & Principal Engineer
Built data pipelines for satellite imagery at Planet Labs and self-driving at Cruise
Expert in complex geospatial and scientific data at massive scale
Deep experience making AI systems production-ready for mission-critical applications
Team DNA
We're not just AI people learning infrastructure, or infrastructure people learning AI. We're both.
Our team uniquely combines deep AI/ML expertise from leading tech companies with direct experience in infrastructure, robotics, and mission-critical systems. We understand both the technology and the domain—a rare combination that's essential for this market.
Who We Serve
You're in the right place if:
Scaling from Pilot to Commercial
You're scaling from pilot to first commercial deployment (or beyond to NOAK)
Rebuilding Models Repeatedly
Your team spends weeks rebuilding models for each new site or configuration or financing
Waiting on Analysis
Investment decisions wait on scenario and sensitivity analyses that take too long to setup and run
Disconnected Teams
Technical, commercial, and finance teams work in disconnected spreadsheets, code, systems.
From early exploration to execution, pilot to FOAK to NOAK, Aire evolves with your projects and your company.
Unlocking New Possibilities
Aire Labs transforms techno-economic and project finance modeling, fundamentally changing what's possible for project developers.
10x Scenario Velocity
Investor feedback. Site parameters shift. Offtake terms evolve. With Aire, your baseline updates automatically while you spin up alternative scenarios, running analyses in minutes not days.
Confident Innovation
Test aggressive designs and novel configurations without fear of model breakage, moving beyond conservative approaches to maximize potential returns
Uncover Critical Trade-offs
Connect disparate models across technology, operations, and finance to explore system interactions and dependencies that were previously impossible to analyze together
How Aire Works
Aire Labs combines smart model ingestion, collaborative tools, and AI to streamline every stage of project development:
01
Smart Ingestion
Upload Excel, Python, Matlab or other models — Aire makes them modular, auditable, and ready for collaboration.
02
Modeling & Analysis
Manage assumptions, run multi-scenario & sensitivity analyses, and export — all in one workspace.
03
Adapt as You Go
Refine assumptions, test ideas, and respond to shifting priorities—without starting from scratch.
04
AI & Agents
Built-in AI helps explain models, flag risks, and accelerate analysis workflows.
05
Collaboration-Ready
Work across teams and locations online or offline with shared access, commenting, versioning, and structured insights, all from a secure cloud.
06
Expert Support
Tap into forward-deployed development, technology, and project finance experts, along with professional services to accelerate onboarding and scale your workflows.

"It takes hundreds of hours to build and maintain a proper project model. I'd love something that speeds that up without sacrificing detail."

Most teams are running scenarios within 1-2 weeks. We handle model ingestion and provide hands-on setup support.
How does my data get onto the platform?
Upload Excel, Python or Matlab models directly—our ingestion engine automatically parses structure and makes everything modular and auditable.
What about our existing models and IP?
Your models and data remain yours. SOC 2 compliant infrastructure with enterprise-grade security. We never access, share, or use your proprietary information outside of providing you service.
How does Aire use AI and LLMs?
AI helps explain model logic, flag issues, and accelerate analysis. Your proprietary data is never used to train AI models—your IP remains completely separate.
Can I export my work?
Absolutely. Export scenarios, analyses, and full models to Excel, CSV, or PDF anytime. Your work is never locked in—you maintain complete portability.
Do we need to commit to our entire portfolio?
No. Start with a single project to prove value, then expand at your pace.
