Terra AI Raises $20M in Series A Funding Led by Khosla Ventures and BHP Ventures

Terra AI, a company specializing in artificial intelligence for subsurface uncertainty in mineral and energy development, has successfully secured $20 million in Series A funding. The investment was led by Khosla Ventures, with strategic investment from BHP Ventures. Terra AI's patented technology integrates various exploration data to produce geological models, allowing project teams to assess subsurface scenarios and make informed decisions regarding drilling and geophysical approaches.

This funding will enable Terra AI to scale its generative modeling engine, accelerate enterprise-grade deployments, and advance subsurface inference technology, ultimately addressing the critical mineral demand. The company's platform significantly reduces the time and capital required for defining deposits and reservoirs, leading to faster and lower-cost resource exploration. With a growing customer base across various projects, Terra AI is set to expand its generative geological modeling platform across mining, enhanced geothermal, and carbon storage.

The funding will support the company's mission to solve critical subsurface challenges using cutting-edge artificial intelligence.
