Cyvl, the AI Infrastructure Intelligence Platform, has raised $14 million in a Series A funding round led by Sentinel Global.

With over 100 partnerships already in place with local governments across the U.S. - ranging from small towns to major metros - Cyvl’s sensor-fitted vehicles have become roving data centers, capturing high-fidelity, 3D maps of entire areas.

The raw data on the physical world, which has never been collected at scale before, is transformed into actionable insights, using AI.

By automating roadway and sidewalk inspections, asset management, and repair planning for governments and engineering firms, Cyvl is saving authorities and taxpayers millions of dollars, accelerating construction timelines, and improving daily life for residents.

Daniel Pelaez, CEO & Co-founder of Cyvl, said:

“Having started my journey on the road crew at the Public Works Department in Southbury, Connecticut, I saw firsthand the challenges local governments face with the lack of reliable data when it comes to maintaining and improving infrastructure.

This experience inspired me to create Cyvl and empower cities and towns with the data and tools they need to make smarter, faster decisions about their infrastructure.

We were delighted to have the support of Sentinel Global in this round. The funding will allow us to expand our engineering team, accelerate product development, and scale deployments in major U.S. cities. With this backing, we’re ready to bring Cyvl’s infrastructure intelligence to more communities, helping them build safer, more reliable, and more efficient infrastructure for everyone.”

Jeremy Kranz, Managing Partner at Sentinel Global, said:

“Cyvl is redefining how America’s infrastructure is managed and is a perfect example of how new forms of data and AI-powered analysis are transforming industries, saving resources, and improving society.

By delivering live, actionable intelligence to cities and towns, Cyvl is helping governments stretch budgets, improve safety, and build public trust. We believe Cyvl will become the infrastructure intelligence layer for communities across the U.S., and we’re excited to back Daniel and the team as they scale.”

The U.S. is in the middle of the largest infrastructure investment cycle in 70 years. With federal budgets totaling over $1 trillion, Cyvl is supporting authorities to ensure funds are spent wisely - using sensors and AI to give decision-makers a clear, data-driven picture of where and how to invest.

Whether it’s mapping every pothole in a city or planning smarter roadways and sidewalks, leaders are getting live, actionable intelligence to accelerate infrastructure projects and improve safety for residents. Already, 1 in 30 Americans drive on roads managed by Cyvl’s data platform.
