Summary

Founder/operator in industrial sensing: Jed co‑founded FlowCommand (now Carbic) to build acoustic sensor + ML systems that measure fluid flow and detect anomalies. The company is YC‑listed and positions itself for customers in oil & gas, water municipalities, and other high‑volume fluid infrastructure markets. ycombinator+1
Product and technical IP involvement: public filings and patent records list Jed (David Jed Somers) as an executive and inventor on FlowCommand/Carbic work; the patented work focuses on acoustic data collection, feature extraction, and ML models to predict pipeline flow rates, indicating hands‑on product/technical leadership in sensor → cloud solutions. justia+1
Operator/scale experience at startups: after founding Carbic, Jed moved into senior operating roles at Owner.com (joined as VP Operations in early 2022, later COO), giving him cross‑functional operational experience (finance, operations, scaling) at both hardware/software and consumer SaaS startups. x+1
Public-facing interests and community engagement: Jed’s personal site and social profiles show interests beyond engineering—carbon removal measurement, political organizing (We Deserve Better PAC), music production, and fire‑safe landscape research—suggesting a mix of technical entrepreneurialism and civic/creative engagement. jedsomers+1
