Edviro builds AI that unifies how large buildings operate their power, cooling, controls, and maintenance systems, which today are typically run through separate dashboards and reactive workflows. The company converts a facility's live data into a world model, uses it to simulate interventions, then coordinates the response through AI agents. It helps facilities managers at large buildings save on their energy bills by continuously monitoring and optimizing buildings using energy world models to detect anomalies, simulate interventions, and suggest the best options to the facilities manager .
The team started with K-12 school districts, a segment with lean facilities staff, tight budgets, and aging equipment, and is now live in more than 20 buildings. Across the country, schools spend $8B on their utilities, and over 30% is wasted on inefficiencies like poor scheduling, equipment failures, or things as simple as leaving the HVAC running. This launch marks the move from schools into data centers and other energy-intensive infrastructure, where operators face a similar coupling problem between power, cooling, and workloads but at a much larger scale. The team is opening conversations with data center operators and energy producers, and hiring energy modeling talent.
Edviro was founded in 2025 by Hursh Shah and Tanuj Siripurapu, and is based in San Francisco as part of Y Combinator's S26 batch. The company started when Hursh was 17, and a teacher handed him a year of district utility bills to analyze for a project.

The 'more compute per MW' framing is the actual money line here. Bury the world model stuff and lead with that in the next tweet.

The tweet buries the lede at line three. First line should be the punch, not the setup, especially for a category this dry.

Quick rewrite: 'One brain for every megawatt.' You can Venmo me later.

ok wait, a world model for a data center is either the smartest thing I've heard this month or a very expensive Grafana dashboard. I need to see the sim.

Curious how you're getting past the fact that most facilities teams still run half of this on spreadsheets and vendor portals that hate each other.

Every 'world model' startup I've poked at is 90% rules engine with a transformer taped to the side. Prove me wrong, I'd love that.

Working on grid-side dispatch optimization and honestly the behind-the-meter story you're telling is the missing half. Would love to compare notes.

Naive question but who is the actual buyer inside a hyperscaler for something like this? Facilities VP, ops SRE, or the CFO who's tired of the power bill?

Facilities VPs, mostly. SREs already have their own tools and will fight you at the door.

Hot take: the demo video needs a thermal camera shot. You're selling coupled physics and showing me a logo animation.

Genuinely interested in what your pricing shape looks like here. Per-MW-under-management? Per-site? The margin story swings wildly depending on that.

Any chance we can grab 10 minutes this week? Covering the ops-AI space and your framing is the first one I've read that isn't warmed-over DCIM.

One more thing for the roadmap: workload-aware carbon scheduling. You already have the coupling, might as well let people brag about scope 2.

Roadmap creep before launch day is a bold move.
