Daniel Pelaez

Engineer turned founder. Building frontier tech and solving hard problems, fast.

I got my start working on the road crew for my hometown’s public works department. That experience stuck with me. I saw firsthand how hard infrastructure teams work to keep our communities running - and how underserved they are by modern technology.

Now, as CEO and Cofounder of Cyvl, I’m focused on changing that. We use 3D mapping and AI to help governments and civil engineers modernize the way we inspect and maintain roads, sidewalks, and other critical infrastructure. It’s not flashy, but it’s foundational. And it matters.

With a background in engineering and experience across R&D, product, and business development, I’m drawn to solving complex, real-world problems that require both grit and vision. I’ve been fortunate to raise $10M+ in venture funding and work alongside an incredible team.

If you’re building, investing, or just passionate about infrastructure and the people who power it, let’s connect.
