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 theindustryʼs real bottleneck wasnʼt bad data, it was disconnected workflows that prevented data frombecoming decisions.
In 2025, we made the deliberate shift to a hardware-agnostic, software-only platform. Leverage existingdatasets, 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 forthe 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'smapping ore bodies or de-risking tunnel projects, GroundedAI turns complex data into clear, objectivedecision-making from the field to the cloud.
Combined years at the face
Industries served
GroundedAI is built by a focusedteam that combines underground field experience with product engineering. Every person here haseither worked on active sites or builds tools for people who do.

CTO & Co-Founder
A decade of experience deploying technology on active underground sites. Leads product vision and engineering, building the platform from the ground upacross 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 dodifficult, 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.
30 minutes, focused on your current workflow.
We stay lean by design. Every hire matters, every quarter has clear objectives, and we protect the work that moves the needle.
GroundedAI is supported by mining executives, geologists, industrial tech investors, and experienced board members who understand what it takes to build tools that matter for this industry.

Underground operations represent one of the last major frontiers in industrial digitization. Mining andtunnelling 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.
