Deice
De-Ice Technologies is an aviation deep-tech company that develops a fast, chemical-free aircraft de-icing system to replace traditional glycol chemical spray methods. Spun out of MIT in 2015 by co-founders Alexander Bratianu-Badea and Ruben Toubiana, the Somerville, Massachusetts company uses gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors to generate high-frequency electric current through tape-like strips attached to an aircraft's exterior, melting snow and ice during the boarding window instead of the usual 30-45 minute glycol spray delay. The approach eliminates glycol spraying costs and the carbon emissions from idling and chemical production/transport, improving airline on-time performance. Air Canada is the launch customer, and the technology was featured in Time's Best Inventions of 2024. De-Ice is a portfolio company of Playground Global. This is a company profile in the API Evangelist network; De-Ice publishes no public API, SDK, or developer surface at this time.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Deice the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Deice scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Deice
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Deice. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
