About
Terranova (formerly Levitree) is a San Francisco/Berkeley-based terraforming robotics startup that emerged from stealth in November 2025 with a $7M seed round led by Outlander and Congruent Ventures, valuing the company at $25.1M. Its core product is autonomous car-sized robots that inject wood-waste slurry 40-60 feet underground to lift flood-prone land as a cheaper alternative to levees and seawalls; the buried biomass also generates durable carbon removal as a secondary revenue stream.
