We just launched @Talos_US (YC F26). https://t.co/MjOo70tlp2
Talos is building an early-warning system for aging power grid infrastructure.
We're moving maintenance from reactive to proactive. We deploy retrofittable sensors to continuously detect catastrophic failures at just 20% the cost.

America’s power grid is struggling:
1. Power outages cost Americans over $125 billion just last year, and power failures have more than doubled since 2024.
2. 75% of today’s power comes from machines operating past their intended lifespan.
Despite this, most utilities still run their equipment till failure and rely on outdated monitoring systems.
Talos deploys non-invasive, retrofittable sensors on power equipment to continuously monitor vibration, magnetic flux, temperature, and humidity. We learn what normal and faulty behavior looks like for your machine, allowing us to detect small issues before they become catastrophic failures.
With sensors deployed across 25+ assets, Talos is partnering with national laboratories, utilities and plant owners to monitor transformers, turbines, pumps, poles, and generators.
If this sounds interesting or you're working in the energy space, would love to connect!
