Astro
New accelerator entry · 2025-02-17 · the record
In their words
Astro finds and buys land for new renewable energy projects, secures grid connections at minimal cost, and sells these development-ready projects to larger energy companies. Founded by Alex Fuster, a former Citadel energy trader, Astro's AI models identify profitable grid connections that eliminate the surprise costs causing 80-90% of renewable projects to fail. With the U.S. needing 2,000 gigawatts of new power generation by 2035 for AI data centers and electrification, Astro unlocks development opportunities that traditional methods consistently miss.

Is this you?
If you're behind Astro: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
