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.
