Based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, City Detect provides an artificial intelligence and computer vision software platform that analyzes footage from municipal vehicle cameras to identify urban blight. The company's SaaS platform supplies local governments with real-time analytics and heat maps to track issues such as illegal dumping, graffiti, and property degradation. Founded in 2021 by Gavin Baum-Blake and Erik Johnson, the enterprise has deployed its technology across more than 17 municipalities, serving major municipal customers including Atlanta, Dallas, and Miami. In its Atlanta deployment alone, the system identified 1,500,000 pieces of litter alongside thousands of illegally dumped tires and debris piles. To support this expansion, City Detect has raised $15 million in total funding, highlighted by a $13 million Series A round led by Prudence Venture Capital with prior backing from Las Olas Venture Capital.
