Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
North American infrastructure is undergoing a major overhaul and modernization. The U.S. Infrastructure Bill and other significant funding has been approved, meaning that in the coming years, the US will likely be spending trillions on upgrading its infrastructure. Citylitics leverages predictive analysis data to automate and coordinate infrastructure upgrades.
Citylitics' technology allows developers a vastly increased level of infrastructure intelligence, saving time and money on upgrades, while improving precision. As the first company of its kind, Citylitics has been able to secure an impressive amount of funding.
Citylitics has provided tailored reporting to businesses such as Suez, AgileAssets and Mueller. The company has invested in hiring in order to double its sales & marketing and engineering teams, which will be a critical step in its continued growth.
