What we do.

In a nutshell, Verdigris enables electrical intelligence by providing analytics down to the level of an individual appliance (light bulb, computer, microwave, TV, etc). Our data informs our customers about appliance costs so they can better optimize appliance usage. They win on savings and the Earth and all its inhabitants win on CO2 emissions.

How does Verdigris give detailed appliance information?

We send little gnomes out to watch all the electronics in buildings and report back to their overlords when these appliances have problems or waste electricity... at least that is what we let people think. We actually build little intelligent machines to do that for us… but we do make them gnome-shaped to keep the ruse alive.

In all seriousness, we’ve developed algorithms to separate device level information from a single conduit of electrical input. It lets us be more informative with less hardware.

So why would I want to work at Verdigris?

We have to work with less hardware and f

Attention Citizen!

Verdigris is looking for the right machine learning heroes to help us build autonomous intelligence to fight climate change and electrical waste.

How does Verdigris eliminate waste?

We send little gnomes out to watch all the electronics in our customer’s buildings and report back to their overlords when those appliances have problems or waste electricity... at least that is what our customers think. We actually build little intelligent machines to do that for us… but we do make them gnome-shaped to keep the ruse alive.

Wait… Isn’t that a lot of machines?
