This former PG&E engineer is building a ‘Google Maps for the underground’

A startup founded by a former PG&E engineer has raised $26 million in Series A funding to build what it calls a 'Google Maps for the underground.' The platform aims to reduce red tape and streamline utility and construction work by providing detailed mapping of underground infrastructure.

Background

Underground utility mapping is a persistent challenge for construction and utility companies, often leading to delays, costly mistakes, and safety hazards when existing infrastructure is unknown or poorly documented.
