Seneca - About
Seneca is a resilience technology and infrastructure company
Why we build
We create autonomous drones and AI-driven software to support firefighters and protect the things we love.
Mission
Eliminate wildfire threat across 500 million acres in the US and allied nations.
Approach
Build products that support the firefighter in use cases that were previously unsafe, inefficient, or impossible.
Philosophy
Prioritize innovations that protect lives, property, and ecosystems. We focus on both initial attack operations and beneficial fire support to create a balanced wildland fire cycle over the coming decades.
“These AI-powered drones don't replace our brave men and women on the front lines; they amplify their capabilities while keeping them out of harm's way. When a drone can deliver rapid water or retardant deployment without risking human life, we're talking about a paradigm shift that will save both firefighter and civilian lives.”
The finest technologists and fire professionals
We are dedicated to saving human life, protecting homes and property, safeguarding wild ecosystems, and mitigating the environmental effects of wildfire.
Our founding team is comprised of fire professionals who teach and fight wildland fire, and technology entrepreneurs who have founded companies worth billions of dollars. It is a privilege to serve firefighters and safeguard our communities and natural resources.
