What TerraNexum does

TerraNexum Inc. is a private Colorado-based (Evergreen/Denver area) computational software and materials company founded in 2022 that develops proprietary modeling frameworks for complex systems challenges. The company sells a portfolio of six products: QGO, a cloud-based geospatial optimizer for co-locating clean energy, carbon sequestration, and ecosystem restoration efforts across building-resolution thermal energy networks (currently covering 14 US states); TimeScaler, a multi-project scheduling and resource-spread management tool using Drum-Buffer-Rope methodology; WaveNet, a spatiotemporal optimization and wave/field/flow dynamics analysis framework; PreSeis, a CPU-only seismic denoising tool for 3D SEG-Y data; CarbonFlex, an 84%-carbon composite material system combining biochar and recycled polyethylene into durable tiles, bricks, and blocks; and ShareNet, a free and open-source Excel-based collaborative cost-revenue optimization tool for small business networks.

The underlying technology rests on three proprietary methodological pillars: ADA (Analog-Digital-Analog) encoding, which provides compact translation between multiple 1D signals and a 3D representation while avoiding conversion losses; a custom convergent optimization measure that reaches 99.9% of best value in only two optimization cycles on a 1 million-node network using a single CPU (demonstrated on a telecom network with latency, throughput, processing delay, and reliability variables); and atomic-level quantum stability calculations for predicting optimal CO2 adsorption sites in MOF materials such as NU-1000 and MOF-808. The company positions these capabilities around "modeling knowns and known unknowns" to anticipate nonlinearities, instabilities, and failures — described by the founders as "unknown unknowns" — in systems ranging from thermal energy networks to project portfolios.

The business model is sales-led and enterprise-oriented, with revenue generated through software platform licensing and optimization services for QGO, TimeScaler, WaveNet, PreSeis, and CarbonFlex, plus optimization consulting. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with annual billing implied by the subscription framing; ShareNet is distributed free and open-source as a community/lead-generation instrument. Target customer segments include sustainability professionals, communities and local governments, energy transition organizations (clean energy developers, carbon managers, sustainability planners), and network infrastructure operators (telecommunications, power grids, transportation). Marketing is conducted almost entirely through LinkedIn, website contact forms, and direct email at [email protected]. The company is led by Dahl Winters (CEO) and Loren Winters (VP, Secretary, Treasurer); the founders cite 11 years of solutioneering experience and 26 commercial awards across 68 submitted solutions (a 38% award rate). Only $5,000 in funding has been disclosed, drawn from accelerator-style sources including AngelList Quant Fund, AWS Activate, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups, and Nvidia Inception, and no revenue figure is publicly available.

Broad incumbents

• ANSYS: Engineering simulation software (CFD, FEA, optics) used across aerospace, energy, and industrial design. Comparable to WaveNet's wave/dynamics modeling and PreSeis's seismic simulation capabilities, with a much larger established customer base.
• Hexagon AB: Global provider of geospatial, industrial, and manufacturing software including asset lifecycle and network optimization suites. Comparable to QGO's geospatial sustainability co-location and WaveNet's network optimization, with established utility and government deployments worldwide.
• Palantir Technologies: Provides complex data integration and decision-optimization platforms (Foundry, Gotham) used by governments and enterprises for large-scale systems analysis. Comparable to TerraNexum in targeting complex-systems modeling for sustainability, infrastructure, and public-sector buyers, but with vastly more capital, customers, and deployments.
• Aspen Technology: Industrial optimization and digital twin software for process industries including energy, chemicals, and utilities. Comparable to WaveNet and QGO in providing multi-variable optimization across distributed networks, with deep domain verticalization that TerraNexum currently lacks.
• C3.ai: Enterprise AI application platform provider that delivers optimization, predictive analytics, and complex-systems modeling across energy, manufacturing, and sustainability. Comparable to TerraNexum's enterprise SaaS optimization platforms (QGO, WaveNet, TimeScaler) at much larger scale and with an installed Fortune 500 base.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure): Industrial software and energy management platforms (EcoStruxure, AVEVA) optimizing power grids, buildings, and sustainability projects. Comparable to QGO's thermal energy network co-location and WaveNet's multi-variable network optimization, with deep incumbent relationships in utilities and municipalities.

Emerging players

• Carbios: Develops enzymatic recycling and bioprocessing technologies for plastics and textiles into circular feedstocks. Comparable to CarbonFlex in its carbon-to-value orientation, though focused on enzymatic depolymerization rather than biochar composites.
• Planet Labs: Operates a high-cadence Earth observation satellite constellation and analytics platform serving sustainability, agriculture, and government customers. Comparable to QGO's geospatial sustainability layer, with a differentiated imagery data asset that complements TerraNexum's building-resolution thermal networks.

Direct peers

• Descartes Labs: Geospatial analytics platform applying ML to satellite imagery for agriculture, energy, and sustainability use cases. Direct comparable to QGO's geospatial optimization for sustainability projects, though operating at larger scale and with deeper imagery pipelines.
• CarbonCure Technologies: Commercializes CO2 utilization technologies that mineralize carbon into concrete during production. Direct comparable to CarbonFlex as a physical carbon-to-value product for construction materials, though CarbonCure is integrated into ready-mix rather than producing discrete tiles/bricks.
