Led by CEO John Mern, Terra AI is a geoscience company combining geological data with AI-driven reasoning to optimise mineral and energy exploration in real time. Its patented platform fuses geophysics, geochemistry and drilling data to generate millions of probabilistic 3D geological models in minutes, helping mining and reservoir teams cut through the uncertainty that typically stretches exploration-to-production timelines to 17 years.
Terra AI serves customers across copper, gold, rare earth and reservoir projects, and counts Rio Tinto and BHP among its backers and strategic partners. The company closed a $20M Series A led by Khosla Ventures in mid-2026, following an earlier $3.4M seed round, also led by Khosla.
