Skiffra Information

Skiffra is building the intelligence layer for the physical world. We translate complex, real-world environments into clear, actionable data. While most AI companies focus on digital industries, we design AI native orchestration systems for the sectors that extract, move, and build ecosystems around us. We turn messy, high stakes operations into intelligent, adaptive workflows that improve decisions in real time. Our first proving ground is mining and natural resources, but the platform is modular by design and built to scale into any industry where decisions are expensive and the consequences are real. Skiffra is led by Co-founders George Whitehouse, former head of Digital Transformation at Toyota who rebuilt complex mining operations into integrated, data driven systems, and Andy Smith, Intel and Dolby operator turned GP and 0-to-1 startup builder with more than 40 companies founded, advised, or invested and exits to DigitalOcean, IBM, Assa Abloy, and Cisco. In one recent nine month proof of concept focused on four value centers, the Skiffra team turned a 5 million dollar investment into a sustained 100 million dollar EBITDA lift for the client. Together they combine deep industrial execution with venture scale product discipline to build an AI operating system for mining first, and the wider physical world next.
