Infravision
Infravision is an Austin, Texas-based aerial robotics company on a mission to make grid construction 10X faster, safer, and more affordable through drone-enabled automation. Rather than simply inspecting energy infrastructure, Infravision has evolved into a full construction automation platform - deploying drones and robotic systems to string power transmission lines at industrial scale, handling voltages up to 765 kV. With over 2,000 miles of line installed, 40+ projects executed across 4+ countries, and customers including BC Hydro, PG&E, and Powerlink, Infravision is not a pilot-stage startup but an operationally proven company delivering at global scale.
The company's technology replaces traditional, labor-intensive and hazardous line-stringing crews with unmanned aerial systems that can complete transmission line construction in days rather than weeks. This reduces human risk, limits environmental disruption, and dramatically cuts project costs. Their platform is purpose-built for the coming wave of grid expansion driven by AI data center demand, industrial onshoring, and broad electrification - all sectors requiring massive new transmission capacity that the existing construction workforce cannot build fast enough.
Infravision is directly relevant to the US energy supply chain at a moment of critical urgency: the world's energy demand is expected to double by 2040, and the US faces a generational backlog in transmission infrastructure buildout. By automating the physical construction of the grid - not just its monitoring - Infravision addresses one of the deepest bottlenecks in domestic energy delivery. Their recent $91 million Series B led by Singapore's GIC signals strong institutional conviction in the company's ability to scale this solution globally, including across the United States.
