Cyvl

Manifesto

America has
infrastructure
amnesia.

America faces a $3.7 trillion infrastructure investment gap over 10 years, according to ASCE's 2025 report. Every American depends on the roads, sidewalks, and utilities behind that number.

Yet cities often make repair decisions using outdated records and residents' complaints. They need to know what's there, what's failing, and what to fix first.

What forgetting costs

Taxpayer dollarsProblems get caught late, when they cost the most to fix.
SafetyPeople get hurt on streets nobody knew were dangerous.
EquityThe loudest neighborhoods get fixed first, and lower-income ones wait.
AccountabilityWhen no one knows what was done, no one can be held accountable.

Give every city a current view.

When I was 18, I saw this firsthand on the road crew in Southbury, Connecticut. I later studied self-driving cars and worked on nationwide 3D mapping systems for defense. There had to be a better way to manage the infrastructure every American depends on.

Cyvl puts LiDAR and cameras on city vehicles to capture streets, sidewalks, and assets. AI maps what is there and assesses its condition, so crews can prioritize repairs and plan budgets.

Today, Cyvl helps hundreds of cities maintain infrastructure millions of Americans rely on.

Platform

A current view.
A better city.

See what needs attention. Plan the work. Measure what changed.

Step 1

See what needs attention.

Vehicle-mounted sensors capture LiDAR and 360° imagery. AI maps assets, measures dimensions, and assesses condition.

Step 2

Turn insights into work.

We're connecting sensor insights with city records, including 311 reports, permits, work history, and budgets, so public works can plan, direct crews, and verify repairs.

Sensor insights and city records connect through Cyvl.Two sources flow into Cyvl, then out to planning, field work, and repair verification. This illustrates the connected workflow being built.Sensor insightsCity recordsPlanWorkVerify
Sensor insights and city records support planning, work, and verification.
Step 3

Start with streets. Connect the city.

One road repair can include drainage, sidewalks, utility work, and traffic plans. We're building a shared view so every team can coordinate the same project.

Cyvl connects a shared view across city departments.Public works, planning, finance, IT and GIS, transportation, water and sewer, parks and forestry, sanitation, permitting, facilities, emergency management and procurement are distributed around a complete rotating sphere. Nodes on both hemispheres keep the model connected throughout the rotation.Public worksPlanningFinanceIT & GISTransportationWater & sewerParks & forestrySanitationPermittingFacilitiesEmergency mgmtProcurement
