TL;DR Torus is Legora for physical engineering firms

We make engineering design better. Our customers are using Torus to generate complete engineering packages and artifacts including complex engineering diagrams across disciplines. This dramatically cuts engineering cost, and timelines.

Infrastructure projects spend months or years just on engineering. Every week of schedule compression on billion dollar infrastructure projects is worth millions.

We’re working with major EPCs and infrastructure owners across the US, helping them cut months long engineering timelines down to days. AI is fundamentally transforming how physical engineering is done, and Torus is delivering this to customers. We’re doing to physical enmgineering what Cursor did to software engineering.

Marcus Lima, CEO. Founded Heimdal (YC S21), raised $12M+ including Sam Altman and Marc Benioff, and built the world's largest carbon capture plant of its kind, working directly with EPCs for years. He lived the pain of slow and expensive engineering.

Rahul Thayil, CTO. Founded Orion, raised $4M+, and spent 10+ years building real-time anomaly detection over messy physical data.

Best friends for 13 years, lived together for 5. One of us built the infrastructure; the other built the intelligence over its data. Torus is both, fused.

Our ask

• We're hiring founding engineers (SF, in person). We're based in SF and work in person, and we forward-deploy to our customers in Kansas City, Tulsa, Houston, and wherever the projects are. We’re hiring every type of engineer, software, mechanical, electrical, process. If you’re an engineer interested in building massive infrastructure we want to work with you.
• Intros to infra owners / engineering firms the companies that build out infrastructure (midstream, power, utilities, data center developers, industrial operators, O&G). Anyone scaling capacity who feels the engineering crunch.
