Round led by Pender Ventures, with participation from Climate Investment, Evok Innovations, and Occidental. New capital will accelerate deployment of the AI-enablement platform already running inside five OGCI member companies and regional operators, with expansion into adjacent industrial verticals underway.
CALGARY, AB, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – SensorUp Inc., the operational intelligence platform powering integrated operations across asset-heavy industries, announced today the close of a growth financing round led by Pender Ventures. The round includes participation from Climate Investment, Evok Innovations, and Occidental, a strategic investor and client.
SensorUp is the operational intelligence layer for asset-heavy industries: turning fragmented field data, engineering records, and sensor streams into auditable, agent-ready workflows. Operators use the platform today to surface underperforming wells before production is lost, to triage flare and vent events against regulatory thresholds, to coordinate turnaround readiness across thousands of components, to detect and resolve methane leaks, and to assemble emissions inventories that withstand regulator and capital-markets scrutiny, all on a single asset model rather than five disconnected tools.
The platform’s hardened components: asset hierarchy, calculations, review and approval, reporting, and workflow orchestration give customers, consultants, and AI agents a shared foundation to build on, with the auditability, security, and scalability that heavy industry requires. Adding a new use case is configuration, not a new product build. That same architecture is what makes the platform extensible beyond oil and gas, into power generation, utilities, mining, and chemicals, wherever distributed assets, multimodal data, and regulated operations meet.
The round was led by Pender Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on companies that drive the innovation economy as legacy systems are replaced with modern tools. As investors, they focus on finding companies with solutions that have proven their ability to increase revenue, reduce costs, and improve outcomes.
“Industrial software has been waiting for a platform with both genuine architectural differentiation and the field credibility to deploy it at scale. SensorUp has both,” said Cheri Corbett, Partner at Pender Ventures. “Their ontology-based data fabric, their position inside the world’s most demanding industrial operators, and the way customers are pulling them into agentic workloads make this exactly the kind of inflection-point company our fund was built to back. Ultimately, we back teams, and this one has earned a level of operator trust that took years to build and would take competitors years to replicate.”
The capital will be deployed across three priorities aligned with SensorUp’s next phase of growth:
Accelerating customer deployment: Expanding SensorUp’s API framework, advancing zero-touch deployment, and scaling expansion through structured prototyping workshops that compress time-to-value from quarters to weeks.
Enhancing the agentic platform: Investing in advanced AI, modeling, and vertical-specific capabilities, including SensorUp’s Operations AI Agents — the production-grade agents that customers are deploying on top of the platform.
Fueling multi-vertical expansion: Building the data infrastructure, go-to-market, and customer success capacity to support a growing base of customers and the expanding scope of workflows running on SensorUp.
“Our customers are eager to deploy AI strategies, but they need a trusted platform and partner to design and build solutions with them,” said Julia Hole, Chief Financial Officer of SensorUp. “SensorUp was forged in the highly complex environment of methane detection, resolution, and measurement at global scale. That foundation naturally positions us to take on our customers’ next most pressing data challenge: operationalizing AI for tangible ROI. This financing allows us to accelerate a roadmap our customers are actively driving.”
