Mach9 is a geospatial production software company that leverages artificial intelligence to convert massive-scale LiDAR scans into 2D and 3D engineering models. Their flagship product, Digital Surveyor, aims to process data up to 30x faster and at half the cost of manual methods, serving the infrastructure sector. The company was founded in 2021 by researchers from Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute with experience in AI for autonomous vehicles. Mach9's mission is to accelerate global infrastructure development by providing fast and efficient geospatial production solutions. They have processed over 7,000 miles, identified more than 20 feature types, and saved over 450,000 hours. Mach9 has integrated its Digital Surveyor with Esri ArcGIS, allowing ArcGIS users to streamline the conversion of mobile mapping data into GIS deliverables and update GIS systems with the latest as-built information. The company has secured $12 million in seed funding led by Quiet Capital.

Mach9 builds software that transforms reality capture datasets into high-precision 3D maps, accelerating how teams model and understand the world. Our flagship product, Digital Surveyor, automatically extracts features like utility poles, signs, curbs, striping and more from LiDAR and imagery datasets and turns them into engineering-ready GIS and CAD deliverables. Surveying, engineering, and GIS teams work with Mach9 to reduce the time and cost of 3D mapping and deliver projects faster than ever before.
Mach9 is backed by Quiet Capital, Y Combinator, Overmatch Ventures, Kyle Vogt (founder of Cruise), Amar Hanspal (former CEO of Autodesk), Scott Belsky (former CPO of Adobe), Gokul Rajaram (former executive at DoorDash), and more.
