As a university inventorI filed a patent and saw how hard it is to find what already exists. That is Patent Intelligence, now being rebuilt on a new patent database.
As an I-Corps founderI went through the programme myself. Offices like it track teams like mine by hand. That is the I-Corps pipeline.
As an environmental scientistMy research lives on messy public environmental data. That is Prism Microclimate.

The journey
From one ocean problem to one engine for any field.
Every step left something behind that Prism Labs runs on today.
EcoGrow used our provisionally patented NDSU technology to clean algae from rivers and lakes and turn what it captured into sustainable fertilizer. It reached the finals of the gener8tor North Dakota accelerator.
North Dakota has no ocean, and it needed answers at home. One idea became a family: Blue Sentinel for water, Green for farms and forests, Brown for soil, Black for oil spills and runoff, Teal for coral reefs, with air, wildfire and hazardous waste next.
EcoGrow went through gBETA Fargo from the fall to December 2025, with a lot of customer discovery on the way: talk to the people who would use it, then build.
Harvard Business School Foundry: back to the engine
Nominated by the NDSU Research Foundation. The bootcamp pushed us to strip away the environmental layer and keep what was underneath: a raw engine that could serve any field.
CleanSentinels, mid-transition, reached the gener8tor North Dakota finals, and the founder's op-ed behind it, submitted to Human Progress, was published there.
The first audits worked, but people called it a chatbot wrapper. So we gave the engine a job no wrapper can do: 9.8 million US patents and 109 million claims. That work became Patent Intelligence, now being rebuilt on a new patent database.
The workspace where people and AI agents from any vendor work in the same room shipped its first public builds for Linux, with signed automatic updates. Twenty-five more releases followed in September.
prismlabs.solutions launched with the full product line on 21 September. Prism Microclimate moved to its own address and Prism X opened Prism Sim on the 26th, Prism Map Studio opened on the 27th and the Crop Lab on the 28th: four products open to anyone in the browser.
Selected to attend Claude Founder House in San Francisco, hosted by Anthropic during SF Tech Week. The best part was the founders: hearing what they are building, sharing what we are building at Prism Labs, and testing our assumptions in conversation. It showed that the needs we work on resonate well beyond North Dakota.
One workspace. Any AI. Your data. The workspace where people and AI agents from any vendor work together, the engine underneath, and the products built on it.
CleanSentinels: finding environmental change in the images we already collect.
CleanSentinels is the founder's environmental-intelligence platform, launched in Fargo, North Dakota in 2025 and a finalist in Innovate ND for Spring 2026: AI that helps people examine satellite, drone and ground imagery for signs of water pollution, forest loss, soil degradation, oil spills and reef stress, so an investigation has a better place to begin. It was integrated into Prism Labs and ultimately became Prism X, which takes the same question, giving the planet eyes to see, into the field.
