YC S24San Francisco, US · Founded 2024 · 2 employees · Hiring · 2 known investors
Mineflow maintains a public mineral exploration dataset and sends alerts when new exploration filings, surveys, and tenement changes match user-defined projects. The platform automatically georeferenced maps and integrates them with drilling, assay, and geology data in 3D scenes for exploration teams.

Alumni Q&A
- What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
- The founders note that near-surface discoveries of economically viable deposits are falling each year, pushing exploration for minerals like gold, copper, and lithium to greater depths where drilling costs more and fewer holes can be drilled. They aim to build a family of foundation models that predict subsurface composition and structure to guide exploration, with the goal of adoption across mining companies.
