The Opportunity

Problem

Togolese AI startups suffer frequent power outages that halt server operations and AI data processing, causing lost productivity and revenue.

Solution

SurgeQueue predicts outages using local data and holds non-urgent AI jobs in a smart queue. It auto-releases them during predicted stable power periods, optimizing throughput without manual intervention. Perfect for batch processing in resource-constrained environments.

Target Audience

AI startups operating in Togo

Differentiator

ML-powered outage forecasting trained on Togo grid patterns, boosting effective compute by 3x.
