Antora designs and manufactures thermal energy storage systems for industrial customers seeking decarbonization and cost reduction. The product is a thermally insulated battery that stores and releases heat and power, built in California and deployed on-site at customer facilities. The company operates across three functional areas: hardware engineering and manufacturing (SolidWorks, module maintenance, reliability improvements), commercial execution (customer analytics, off-take agreements, FID processes), and operational technology (OT network deployment and cybersecurity). Founded in 2018 and currently 201–500 employees, Antora is focused on expanding its commercial pipeline and securing long-term customer contracts.
Python and MATLAB for engineering; SolidWorks PDM for design and manufacturing; NetSuite, Oracle Cloud, and Tableau for operations and reporting; Notion and Google Sheets for collaboration.
100+ MW thermal energy storage projects, commercial off-take agreements, decarbonization initiatives, OT network infrastructure, document control systems for production scale-up, and tax strategy for thermal battery deployment.
