• Silta AI is a vertical AI platform purpose-built for the infrastructure sector. It turns the mountains of documents, data, and complex processes that slow projects down into clear, actionable intelligence — across the entire lifecycle, from early feasibility to financing, construction, operations, and handback.
• Unlike generic AI tools, Silta is designed for regulated, high-stakes environments. It applies sector-specific logic, verified frameworks, and precedent benchmarking to produce transparent, audit-ready outputs that decision-makers can trust. Every recommendation is linked to its source, with gaps flagged and compliance standards applied.
• Governments, development banks, engineering firms, and investors use Silta to:
• Accelerate pre-feasibility and due-diligence reviews from months to days
• Streamline tender evaluations with explainable scoring and compliance checks
• Monitor construction and operations with real-time insights
• Manage project handback through automated gap analysis
• Silta never trains on client data, offers white-label and on-premise deployments to meet sovereignty requirements, and integrates seamlessly with existing workflows. By enhancing — not replacing — human expertise, it extends the reach, speed, and rigour of infrastructure teams, unlocking billions in potential value and helping close the global infrastructure gap.

• At Streamr, I held multiple leadership roles during a critical period of growth following the company’s €32M raise.
