About Treeswift

To empower energy companies to modernize their field work, Treeswift deploys sensors into field operations to gather LiDAR and imagery data, which is processed through AI models to deliver actionable analytics.

We started our work with utilities in June 2024 and now serve three of the five largest utilities in the United States. Our team brings together experts from robotics and enterprise software development, and we have received funding from leading investors.

Treeswift is headquartered in lower Manhattan and has an office in Philadelphia. Some customer-facing team members are based closer to their customer sites (e.g., Bay Area).
