A billion, every year.
This is Thomas, asset manager at a railway. Every year he decides what gets renewed, a billion dollars' worth. For that he needs one thing: the condition of his network. That's what we deliver, as Aerial Data as a Service.
Fast, precise or current.
Until now, Thomas had to choose.
the foot patrol
Thorough, but outdated.
By the time the last kilometre is walked, the first one is old again.
the helicopter
Fast, but coarse.
It covers the line in a day. It just doesn't see a centimetre while doing it.
the drone
Precise, but not for long.
It has to land before you finish your coffee. A corridor means swapping batteries, again and again.
TENEO|E
All three.
One flight, the full picture. Fast, because one flight captures the whole line, twelve hours at a stretch. Precise, because a UHD camera and LiDAR are on board. Current, because every flight takes the same path and is compared with the last.

Market
Thomas isn't alone.
Power, rail, pipelines and roads across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France: almost 25 times around the Earth. All of it needs inspecting at a regular cadence. That's our entry market. And the same flight has buyers well beyond inspection.

Model
One fleet, two revenue streams.
Orders
We fly corridors for rail, grid and roads, per flight or on subscription.
Data
The same flights capture the landscape around them. We offer that data in eleven markets.
Price per kilometre
One price per kilometre, all-in. No equipment, no setup, one invoice.
Hub
One hub serves lines within 150 km, for several customers, at fixed intervals.
Comparable
The same line, the same capture, at fixed intervals. From the second flight on, the difference shows.
Traction
From prototype to pilot customer.
Pre-series built
Two years of development with several prototypes. The predecessor ELP6 validated the physics and the flight concept. TENEO|E has been complete since September. Maiden flight in October 2026, a year after ELP6.
Five pilot projects
In Switzerland, Germany and France, among them Axpo (energy), BLS (rail) and Geoformer (geospatial). Six more operators have committed to further pilots. Every one of them came to us.
Partners on board
An R&D partnership with CSEM on solar integration, backed by Innosuisse. We've passed two due diligences, an investor pool's and a family office's, and secured non-dilutive funding.
Team
Three founders, three domains.
Andi Zaugg · CEO
An entrepreneur with 30 years in software, UAV and AI, 20 of them in leadership. Full-time on levitate since 2024.
Adrien Barbot · CTO
Aerospace engineer and entrepreneur. He co-built the avionics for the Airbus A380, A400M and A350 and knows EASA certification first-hand. He joins us in November 2026.
Gabriela Odermatt-Feuz · CRO / COO
She ran a Swiss SME with 130 staff and has an eye for compliance and lean operations. Our voice and our network.
Tomorrow
Beyond inspection.
The same flight along the railway also sees forest, river, power line and village. One flight, paid for once and used many times over. AI that acts in the world needs current, repeated, georeferenced captures of the real world. That's exactly what we create on the side, with every flight. See the data markets
Investor access
Ask for the deck.
The deck with the numbers and the data room are open once we know who's asking. You'll hear from one of us, not from a form.
Let's talk about the round.
We're raising a CHF 500k seed round in equity, closing in December 2026. The next step is a conversation, not a form.
Andi, Adrien and Gabi make time for your questions.
