GroundedAI began as a technology and field services company, deploying hardware and software alongside mining and tunnelling teams on active sites. The proximity to the problem revealed that the industryʼs real bottleneck wasnʼt bad data, it was disconnected workflows that prevented data from becoming decisions.
In 2025, we made the deliberate shift to a hardware-agnostic, software-only platform. Leverage existing datasets, use Lithos for field capture on an iPad designed to work offline underground. Strata for data management, mapping, and reporting on desktop. Two tools, one connected platform, purpose-built for the teams who work below the surface every day.
The company is backed by deep domain expertise, direct relationships with operating sites, and a conviction that underground teams deserve tools as rigorous as the decisions they make. Whether it's mapping ore bodies or de-risking tunnel projects, GroundedAI turns complex data into clear, objective decision-making from the field to the cloud.
Combined years at the face
Industries served
GroundedAI is built by a focused team that combines underground field experience with product engineering. Every person here has either worked on active sites or builds tools for people who do.
CEO & Co-Founder
A decade of field experience across underground mining and tunnelling operations. Leads strategic direction and growth of the company, including business development, sales, marketing, and customer success.
CTO & Co-Founder
A decade of experience deploying technology on active underground sites. Leads product vision and engineering, building the platform from the ground up across iPad, web, and cloud infrastructure.
We're a small team solving a big problem. If you want to build tools that matter for people who do difficult, essential work, and you want to see your work in action.
Domain-driven, not feature-driven.
We build for geologists and engineers working on sites. Understanding the problem is as important as writing the code.
Small team, high ownership.
Everyone here has a direct line to the product, the customers, and the outcomes. No layers. No waiting for permission.
Capital-efficient and focused.
We stay lean by design. Every hire matters, every quarter has clear objectives, and we protect the work that moves the needle.
We're growing in engineering and customer-facing rolesas we scale site deployments.

Underground operations represent one of the last major frontiers in industrial digitization. Mining and tunnelling teams still rely on fragmented, discipline-specific tools and manual handoffs to make decisions that cost millions when they go wrong.
GroundedAI is the first platform built specifically to connect field observation to operational decision making underground.
