General Business AI Advanced Accelerator - Fall 2022

Built Environment Insights

America needs to decarbonize 7,800 buildings every day for the next 28 years if we are to reach our 2050 climate goals – the first step in each of these projects is on-site data collection of existing infrastructure. EMPEQ’s SaaS product captures and digitizes data in the built environment. In our beachhead market of field engineers, the solution improves efficiency rates on site audits by up to 80% and provides previously scarce atomic-level equipment data. The product’s native intelligence and growing body of data delivers the crucial built environment insight needed by an ageing energy infrastructure struggling to reduce consumption and greenhouse gases.

Automated Cybersecurity Strategy

In the U.S. today, 1 million businesses do not have a cybersecurity strategy. Without a strategy, they are risking their very existence to hackers. iCompaas automates the development of tailored cybersecurity strategies for small and medium businesses who can't afford a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Our CISObot.ai product uses cloud meta-data to generate a real-time view of cybersecurity architecture, so our customers know where they stand. Our automated security and compliance software finds and remediates policy violations. iCompaas' bespoke cybersecurity strategies include Automated Questtionnaire Response, Pen Testing & Remediation and access to a fractional CISO marketplace.
