AI Infrastructure Intelligence Platform company Cyvl recently announced that it has raised $14 million in a Series A funding round, led by Sentinel Global. This funding will enable Cyvl to expand its innovative technology further and enhance its impact on infrastructure management nationwide.
Cyvl has established over 100 partnerships with local governments, spanning a diverse range from small, rural towns to major metropolitan areas. The company’s unique approach involves deploying sensor-equipped vehicles that function as mobile data centers. These vehicles are capable of capturing high-fidelity, three-dimensional maps of entire regions, collecting data on an unprecedented scale.
The raw data collected by these vehicles provides invaluable insights into the state of the physical world. By employing advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, Cyvl transforms this raw data into actionable insights that can inform decision-making processes. This data-centric approach is revolutionary, offering a level of detail and accuracy that has never been previously available to public authorities.
One of the key benefits of Cyvl’s technology is its ability to automate essential processes, including roadway and sidewalk inspections, asset management, and repair planning. This automation not only saves local authorities and taxpayers millions of dollars but also significantly accelerates construction timelines. By streamlining these processes, Cyvl improves the quality of infrastructure projects and, consequently, enhances the daily lives of residents.
The United States is currently amidst the most significant infrastructure investment cycle seen in the last 70 years. With federal budgets exceeding $1 trillion, the importance of ensuring that these funds are allocated efficiently cannot be overstated. Cyvl is playing a crucial role in this endeavor by providing local and federal authorities with the tools needed to make informed financial decisions. The integration of sensors and AI enables leaders to obtain a clear, data-driven picture of where and how resources should be invested.
Whether it involves mapping every pothole in a city or devising more innovative designs for roadways and sidewalks, Cyvl offers leaders access to live, actionable intelligence. This capability empowers them to expedite infrastructure projects while improving safety for residents.
An estimated 1 in 30 Americans currently utilize roads managed through Cyvl’s data platform, highlighting the company’s significant influence on the nation’s infrastructure landscape.
KEY QUOTES:
“Having started my journey on the road crew at the Public Works Department in Southbury, Connecticut, I saw firsthand the challenges local governments face with the lack of reliable data when it comes to maintaining and improving infrastructure.”
“This experience inspired me to create Cyvl and empower cities and towns with the data and tools they need to make smarter, faster decisions about their infrastructure.”
“We were delighted to have the support of Sentinel Global in this round. The funding will allow us to expand our engineering team, accelerate product development, and scale deployments in major U.S. cities. With this backing, we’re ready to bring Cyvl’s infrastructure intelligence to more communities, helping them build safer, more reliable, and more efficient infrastructure for everyone.”
