About Applied Electrodynamics, Inc.
Summary
Applied Electrodynamics builds WaveSight, a through-wall imaging system that maps structural elements, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems inside walls and ceilings with millimeter accuracy. Construction teams use it to capture as-built conditions and identify hidden issues that thermal cameras and LiDAR cannot reach. The same hardware platform extends to manufacturing inspection and security screening of bags and packages.
Business model
Preorder pricing with early-access launch pricing ahead of general availability.
Go-to-market
Construction teams are the initial buyer, acquired through a direct preorder channel on the company's website; security screening and manufacturing inspection are follow-on verticals targeted with the same platform.
From the Y Combinator listing
A new kind of camera that can see through walls.
Applied Electrodynamics builds imaging systems that see through solid matter. Our team previously co-invented the iPhone touchscreen and Nest learning thermostat. We’re starting in construction, helping teams map structural elements and utilities inside walls and ceilings. The same platform extends to security screening and cargo inspection. Our mission is to make the hidden physical world machine-readable across the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
