Nicolas Dessaigne(@dessaigne):One of the highlights of my trip to France was visiting YC alums. Among them is @hylight_aero, a YC S23 alum building airships to inspect infrastructure at scale: power lines, pipelines, railways, etc. They are replacing risky helicopter inspections, suppressing their high carbon emissions and delivering better data. Seeing them at work was really cool. They design, build, and operate the HyLighters themselves. And they’re already inspecting infrastructure across France. Thanks for having me, @MartinBocken, Josef Rokusek, and @ThomasLprte. Keep going!
