Category Standard

Enertiv is a verified, Series A funded operational intelligence platform for commercial real estate with significant market traction ($13M+ funding, clients like Prologis/Starwood). The project has high real-world utility and strong technical innovation (IoT/AI). However, the submission itself was of very low quality, containing false placeholders (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: null'). The score reflects the high value of the actual business, heavily penalized by the poor quality of evidence provided in the form.

Description
Enertiv creates asset value for commercial real estate portfolios by improving productivity and reducing operating expenses related to maintenance and repairs, utilities and equipment CapEx reserves.\n\nThe Enertiv Platform is designed to unlock and leverage every piece of building data, from static documents, to legacy software, to connected IoT devices. With this data, we deliver unprecedented transparency and actionable insights for every stakeholder, from the boardroom to the boiler room.\n\nOur platform is designed to be immediately scalable and infinitely extendible. Initially, the Enertiv App digitizes equipment documentation and streamlines manual workflows. Next, based on the needs and budgets of each asset, we power up the Enertiv App with existing system integrations, equipment monitoring, and/or indoor environmental monitoring.\n\nFinally, Enertiv AI runs your data against the 9 billion hours of building data we've collected to date as well as the industry's largest library of insights to deliver actionable prescriptions to the right people at the right time. The value of the platform continues to grow as more systems are connected and more data is captured.
