Omen

Omen AI is a San Francisco-based hardware and AI company that builds sensors and software enabling mission-critical machinery to continuously monitor its own health in real time. Founded in 2024 by CEO Zach Laberge, Omen's platform replaces slow, lab-based fluid testing—which can take one to two weeks—with on-site spectroscopic sensors that deliver results in seconds, tracking metal content, contamination, and wear patterns continuously. The company serves data center operators and industrial fleet customers, helping them detect coolant degradation, bio-contaminants, and bearing wear before failures occur, and has raised $41.5M in total funding backed by Nava Ventures, CRV, and strategic investors from Bridgestone, GM, and Johnson Controls.
