    Our Mission

    We make sensors and software to optimize complex physical operations. Critical data is encoded everywhere in the physical world, but much of this data remains hidden from those who need it most. Unseen, unmeasured factors drive inefficiencies worth billions of dollars to the dominant industries in our economy, from yield loss in pharmaceutical production to machine down-time in advanced manufacturing to the epidemic of experimental irreproducibility in life sciences R&D.

    At Elemental Machines, we believe that rich, well-annotated datasets from connected sensors can this eliminate waste. We are on a mission to create products that make it easy to gather and transform this data into actionable insights to transform these industries for the better.

    Our Team

    When the team is not racing bicycles, rock climbing, baking bread, kayaking, backcountry skiing, brewing craft beer or throwing axes (at targets) it is focused intently on bringing value to our partners and customers by disrupting industries that are still recording and using information the same way it was done thousands of years ago. IoT continuous data collection, combined with artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, will revolutionize scientific discovery.
