Sarus Lifting (Accelerator)

Company Description: Sarus Lifting is building the SaaS platform for the crane & heavy haul vertical. Their software, Lift-Pro, helps these companies save time and reduce risk across their entire project workflow while capturing operational data for insights into efficiency and safety. After inventing an automated fire truck ladder control system and realizing that it was a solution looking for a problem, the Sarus Lifting team pivoted their technology to construction. Here they discovered a need for digitization across numerous parts of construction and heavy industrial processes. Leaving behind their robotics project, they built a software MVP to make crane modeling and optimization a field-friendly process, reducing miscommunications and improving efficiency related to crane operations. With this product in the market, they are planning to address the bigger problems faced by crane and heavy haul companies such as route planning, personnel scheduling, and fleet management. The team is made up of Dustin Ramsay, CEO, who grew up to his mom an entrepreneur, and his dad a civil engineer. He’s joined by founding engineer Eric Heinmiller and interns Enrico and Abdul. They are advised by Paris Holley (engineering) and Julian Nguyen (UI/UX).
