Who we are:   Guidewheel is on a mission to empower all the world’s factories to reach sustainable peak performance. We live in a world where you can check the weather of any city or the score of any football game from your phone—so why can’t we get that same instant, automated, and smart visibility into the factory floor?  Guidewheel has found a way to illuminate those blind spots at scale by starting with a simple truth: every machine–regardless of make, model, or age–uses power. We first clip a sensor around the power draw of any machine (like a FitBit™ for Factories) to read the machine’s electrical “heartbeat,” and then can layer on additional functionality to empower manufacturers to improve productivity of their existing plants and machines by up to 2X—while simultaneously reducing energy cost and emissions by 15-20% Founded out of Stanford and backed by top investors including Greycroft, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, and BlackRock and Temasek's Decarbonization Partners fund, Guidewheel is scaling fast, already successful with 300+ manufacturers including Johnson & Johnson, General Motors, and Coca-Cola FEMSA, and recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of the top companies globally poised to change business and society. We have strong momentum and alignment around our mission, investor support, and a culture that values diversity, a growth mindset, and results.  Check us out here: What is Guidewheel?
