Torch Systems has announced $11.5 million in total funding as it scales a new approach to understanding what is happening across the physical world.

The recent financing includes $9.5 million in equity funding from Khosla Ventures, Abstract, Construct Capital and Starship Ventures, along with $2 million in venture debt financing from First Citizens Innovation Banking (formerly known as Silicon Valley Bank). Torch will use the capital to accelerate manufacturing and deployment of its TerraNode sensing devices, grow its go-to-market and field operations teams, and continue advancing its Torch Intelligence Platform for a rapidly expanding set of use cases.

Torch Systems is an outdoor asset intelligence company building technology that helps utilities, renewable energy operators, municipalities and other critical infrastructure organizations understand what's happening across distributed outdoor assets. Its TerraNode™ combines multiple sensing technologies, edge AI, solar power and wireless connectivity in a compact device designed for rapid deployment without external power or network infrastructure. The Torch Intelligence Platform turns that field data into alerts, operational context and actionable intelligence across use cases including fire, equipment health, security, vegetation and environmental monitoring.
