Co-Founder & CEO at Entangl
Find & resolve issues in data center engineering & operations using AI
Using AI to detect and automatically resolve issues in data center engineering and operations. The platform saves engineers roughly two months of work per year by eliminating prolonged design reviews — and already counts AWS, Vodafone, Boeing, CyrusOne, and JLL as enterprise clients. Previously studied Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial College London and co-founded the Karman Space Programme, successfully launching one of the UK's most powerful reusable rockets and growing it into Europe's best-sponsored student space program. Entangl (YC S24) is based in San Francisco and is backed by Y Combinator.
Entangl is an AI platform for data center engineering and operations. It builds a complete digital model of a facility and cross-checks procedures against the actual design to catch errors and prevent outages before they happen.
Entangl ingests all of a data center's design information and maps out how everything connects, from circuits to servers to the power plant. When engineers need to install new racks or equipment, the AI generates step-by-step instructions and checks for issues like circuit continuity errors, wrong sequencing, or missed dependencies.
About 65% of data center outages come from human error in methods of procedure (MOPs), and each outage costs around $600K on average. Entangl catches those mistakes before they cause downtime and saves each engineer roughly two months of work per year by cutting out prolonged design reviews.
Entangl (YC S24) reached $2.8M in revenue with just a 3-person team. Enterprise clients include AWS, Vodafone, Boeing, CyrusOne, and JLL. Backers include Y Combinator, 468 Capital, Evolution VC Partners, and angel investors from NVIDIA, Cloudflare, AMD, Hugging Face, and the author of 'Attention Is All You Need.'
Shapol M. (CEO) studied Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial College London and co-founded the Karman Space Programme, which grew into Europe's best-sponsored student space program. They successfully launched one of the UK's most powerful reusable rockets. Antanas Zilinskas (CTO) led the engineering of a 25km reusable student rocket and co-founded an AI research lab. The two built their own engineering design software out of frustration with existing tools, and that eventually became Entangl.
They hit $2.8M in revenue with only 3 employees and have since grown to about 7 team members. The product is also available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
