LA battery AI using reinforcement learning for grid-scale BESS optimization with CAISO certification; YC $3M seed from Rivian battery data science team competing with Stem for intelligent energy storage dispatch.
Keeling Labs is a Los Angeles-based battery AI company — backed by Y Combinator with $3 million in seed funding from YC, GMO Venture Partners, FoundersX Ventures, and Climate Capital — developing reinforcement learning platforms for grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) optimization, enabling operators of large battery installations to maximize revenue from energy arbitrage, frequency regulation, and capacity markets through AI that continuously learns optimal dispatch strategies. Founded in 2022 by Jack O'Grady with a team from Rivian's battery data science group, Keeling Labs achieved California CAISO regulatory certification in fall 2023 and deployed its ML model to actively trade energy in California markets in 2024.
$3.5M annual revenue 2025; $86.1M total funding (Series C Oct 2023); deployed in 60+ countries; acquired Regen adding 130K acres; 134 employees; precision agriculture market $8.7B 2024; subscription-based model
CropX was founded in 2014 in Tel Aviv, Israel, with the mission of helping farmers improve crop yields and reduce resource consumption through precision agriculture technology. The company developed soil sensing hardware and analytics software that translate subsurface soil data into actionable irrigation and nutrient management recommendations, enabling farms of any size to optimize inputs based on actual field conditions rather than generalized agronomic guidelines.\n\nCropX's platform combines wireless soil sensors that measure moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity at multiple depths with a cloud-based analytics engine that integrates weather data, satellite imagery, and farm management records. Recommendations are delivered via a mobile app, enabling farm managers to make data-driven irrigation decisions in real time. The 2023 acquisition of Regen added 130,000 acres of managed farmland to its platform and expanded its capabilities in carbon and regenerative agriculture. CropX is deployed in 60+ countries across a diverse range of crops and farm types.\n\nCropX has raised $86.1M in total funding, including a Series C in October 2023, and has grown to serve 20,000+ customers with a team of 134 employees. The company's international deployment footprint — spanning North America, Europe, Australia, and emerging agricultural markets — reflects the universal applicability of data-driven soil management. CropX sits at the intersection of precision agriculture, water conservation, and sustainable farming, three of the highest-priority investment themes in global food systems.
