Urbint is an AI-powered software company specializing in operational resilience for energy, utilities, telecom, and infrastructure sectors. It builds a unified platform offering three core solutions: Emergency Preparedness & Response to predict natural disaster impacts and speed recovery; Worker Safety to identify field hazards and prevent injuries; and Damage Prevention to risk-profile excavations and avoid strikes on underground assets[1][2][3]. Serving utilities, energy providers, gas/electric operators, telecom/cable firms, and oil/gas companies, Urbint solves critical problems like severe storms, workforce risks, rising demand, and infrastructure threats by delivering real-time risk intelligence, predictive analytics, and field-first tools that safeguard workers, assets, communities, and the environment[1][2][3]. As part of Itron since at least 2025, it combines AI foresight with industry expertise to drive safer, more reliable operations, with proven results like 25% average reductions in underground damages[2][4].
Urbint was founded in 2015 in Miami Beach, Florida, by Corey Capasso (CEO) and Josh Troy (CFO, Co-Founder), driven by the vision of using real-world data and AI to predict and prevent incidents threatening critical infrastructure, workers, communities, and the environment[3][4]. The idea emerged from applying AI initially to detect corrosion risks in gas service lines, then pivoting to broader underground utility damage prevention, which gained early traction with North American utilities[4][7]. Pivotal moments include the 2020 launch of Urbint Lens for Worker Safety, the first AI tool to analyze datasets like work history, weather, and site conditions for proactive hazard identification[6], and its acquisition by Itron, amplifying scale with decades of utility expertise[2].
Urbint rides the AI-for-operational-resilience wave in energy and infrastructure, addressing accelerating risks from climate events, electrification-driven demand surges, aging grids, workforce shortages, and regulatory scrutiny[1][2]. Timing is ideal amid the AI boom's energy demands and net-zero transitions, where proactive prediction trumps reactive fixes—utilities face unprecedented threats, making Urbint's foresight essential for grid stability and community protection[2][4]. Market forces like severe storms and third-party damages (e.g., 811 ticket risks) favor its precision, while Itron integration positions it to influence ecosystem-wide adoption of AI in critical infrastructure, setting standards for safety and adaptability over the next 50 years[2][5].
Urbint's Itron-backed momentum positions it for expansion into global utilities and emerging risks like AI-data-center power needs, with AI models growing smarter via continuous learning[2][5]. Trends like climate volatility, infrastructure modernization, and regulatory pushes for zero-incident operations will propel growth, potentially evolving its influence toward comprehensive resilience platforms for all critical sectors. As the leader preventing tomorrow's disruptions today, Urbint exemplifies how AI turns infrastructure vulnerabilities into unbreakable strengths—safeguarding the energy backbone of modern life[1][2].
Urbint has raised $129.0M across 3 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $35.0M Series C in October 2024.
