About Voroven
Voroven Pty Ltd is an Australian software company founded in Adelaide in 2026.
We develop intelligent software for complex physical environments, combining AI, connected devices, operational information and human oversight.
Our initial commercial focus is energy optimisation, building on the Voro Home residential platform. Residential testing and planned education-sector pilots will assess energy outcomes, usability and deployment effort.
We combine an understanding of how buildings are used with improvements informed by live operation and reviewed by people. Our aim is a repeatable product that needs less engineering for each installation, making optimisation practical for smaller customers.
