About
HyLight is a Paris, France-based hydrogen-powered autonomous airship company — backed by Y Combinator (W23) with $3.94 million in Series A funding in April 2024 led by Ring Capital with Y Combinator, Kima Ventures, Collaborative Fund, Marc Tarpenning (Tesla co-founder), and Abhishek Tripathi — developing autonomous airships powered by hydrogen propulsion for long-range critical infrastructure inspection, targeting methane leak detection across oil and gas pipelines, power line defect inspection for electrical utilities, and railway and border monitoring applications. Founded in 2021, HyLight's airships achieve 10-hour endurance, 220-mile range, and 22 mph operational speed — enabling the continuous, wide-area monitoring that helicopters cannot provide economically and ground inspection cannot achieve at scale.
