about us
Prosperity starts underground
The rate at which mankind explores and extracts resources from the earth defines civilization’s progress. Each era of history begins and ends with minerals.
Today's exploration efforts are falling short
Without more metal mines, the future won't happen. Terra AI is accelerating exploration to ensure it does.
Energy, defense, and AI are driving massive secular growth for critical minerals

By accelerating and de-risking mining’s longest lead item, post-discovery exploration, Terra AI will change the fundamental economics of mining and boost downstream industries
This will unlock a huge new opportunity for investors and explorers - the value of metal produced from new discoveries each year is worth ~$900Bn to miners - but only $12Bn of that value is returned to exploration.

Anthony leads the development of decision support tools for sustainable natural resource projects related to clean energy and the discovery of critical minerals. He is also a visiting scholar at Stanford University. After getting his Ph.D at Stanford he served as executive director of the Stanford Center for AI safey where his research centered around algorithmic decision-making for safety-critical applications.

Luke completed his MBA at Stanford. As an independent sponsor, he started and managed new critical minerals mining companies including Gold Ridge, Richmond Vanadium, and Bromus Kaolin, returning over $150M on $12M invested since 2016. He previously started his own critical minerals fund with support from partners at Fortress and Khosla.

Danny is a 1x tech founder and geologist. His undergrad research at Williams College on placer gold deposits won the Freeman Foote award in geoscience. He previously worked in real estate, finance and as the founder of a seed-stage B2B logistics tech startup. In his spare time, Danny advises on transactions in the mining sector for FOs and PEs, builds the mining tech community and promotes forward-thinking American minerals policy.
