The Moment Cities globally are undergoing a transformation ushered in by advances across electric, autonomous, connected, and shared mobility technologies. These advances are both challenges and opportunities that cities must embrace to realize their most important goals. Cities are already implementing the digital infrastructure required to reduce their carbon footprints at a gigaton scale, put essential services within 15 minutes of every resident, and boost their economic competitiveness.

Our solutions are accelerating adoption and progress across each of these verticals in cities around the world. We're a fast growing startup working with cities globally, making them more efficient, safer, and sustainable. Our data is already employed to mitigate emissions from millions of vehicles, detect traffic accidents and road hazards in real time, and fuse data from hundreds of edge sensors with cloud data at scale. We're backed by leading VCs like 8VC & Cota Capital, and we know it's just the beginning.
