Who we are
The problem: Every minute matters in fire response. As climate change amplifies the intensity of wildfires—with longer fire seasons, dryer fuels, and faster winds—new ignitions spread faster and put more communities at risk. Today, most wildfires are detected by bystanders and reported via 911, meaning it can take hours to detect a fire, verify its exact location and size, and dispatch first responders. Fire authorities need a faster way to detect, confirm, and pinpoint fires so that they can quickly respond—preventing small flare-ups from becoming devastating infernos.
About Pano: Pano is a venture-backed early-stage climate tech startup that is the leader in wildfire early detection, leveraging the latest advancements in IoT, AI, satellites, and SaaS software to deliver actionable intelligence to customers. Pano leverages mountaintop cameras and satellites to detect the first traces of smoke and put real-time fire images in the hands of asset owners and first responders to speed up containment. Pano is proud to partner with leading utilities, fire authorities, and government agencies across the USA, Canada, and Australia. Recent media features include CNBC and Reuters, along with recognition as one of the "Top 15 Climate Tech Companies to Watch" by MIT Technology Review and one of the "10 Most Innovative Companies in AI" by Fast Company. Additionally, through our partnership with T-Mobile, we received the prestigious "Innovative Mobile Service and Application Award" at Mobile World Congress.
