Founded in 2024 by former SpaceX engineers Noah Schochet and Noah McGuinness, TerraFirma builds a full-stack platform that combines AI-enabled pre-construction software, a remote command-and-control center, and retrofitted semi-autonomous heavy machinery for earthworks and site operations. The company's systems let skilled operators orchestrate fleets from screens, which TerraFirma says can make each operator up to 300% more effective. TerraFirma is executing commercial projects including site preparation, excavation, and grading for a Starbucks in North Austin, a sports arena in Spicewood, and a power substation in New Braunfels, and it is working with the U.S. government on international infrastructure and logistics projects. The company is vertically integrated, building and using its own robotics and software in the field while keeping operators at the center. TerraFirma has stated a long-term ambition to extend its construction technology to lunar and Martian projects as well as scale on Earth. Financially, TerraFirma announced approximately $115 million in new capital, including a $100 million Series A, to expand engineering, manufacturing, operations, and continued development of its semi-autonomous equipment.
