RunPilot is the trading name of AENi Limited, a deep-tech spin-out from the University of Sheffield founded by Joseph Hammond, Thomas Cowley and Professor Solomon Brown. The AI-powered SaaS platform helps infrastructure teams plan net-zero networks: it generates and compares route, connection and phasing options against geospatial constraints, cost surfaces and engineering-aware scenarios, quantifying technical, economic, environmental and social trade-offs including consenting risk. RunPilot is headquartered in London and counts the University of Sheffield as its first backer.
