Fire is coming. Build technology to protect the things we love.
Fire is a big problem
Today, over 115 million Americans live in homes threatened by wildfire. Damage from wildfires costs our country over $1 trillion per year. Over 5% of all carbon emissions are caused by wildfires.

Amor Fati
Amor Fati means “Love Fortune” or “Love your fate.” This is a core philosophy of the Stoics, after whom Seneca is named. We take that attitude seriously: both in loving the problem that we work on and in loving the challenges that we get to face every day.
We are constantly learning and leveling-up at Seneca to rise to the challenge of protecting people and ecosystems from the growing threat of wildfire. It's so exciting to get to work on cutting edge robotics and aerospace tech with such a collaborative, experienced, and mission-driven team.
