About
ZebraKet is a Canadian cleantech startup that uses quantum computing and AI methods to detect methane leaks. It was founded after the University of Toronto Creative Destruction Lab Quantum Stream bootcamp. The company initially developed inventory optimization for retail, then pivoted in 2023 to sensor fusion and placement optimization for methane leak detection in the energy industry after joining Next AI. It also took part in the University of Maryland Quantum Startup Foundry Pre-Traqtion program. The team includes CEO Alex Khan, formerly CPO at Chicago Quantum and co-author of papers on portfolio optimization using D-Wave, along with Ehsan Torabizadeh, Akos Nagy PhD, Prathamesh Tamhane, Weichen Xie, and Naren Sathishkumar. ZebraKet's focus reflects the scale of the problem: methane is responsible for over 25% of global warming, and Canadian legislation requires fast-paced abatement from the oil and gas sector.
