Urbint Receives $35 Million Strategic Growth Equity Investment Led by S2G to Double Down on Resiliency and Safety Amid Hurricane Season

MIAMI, October 17, 2024 – Urbint, the leading AI platform for identifying and mitigating threats to workers, critical infrastructure, and communities, today announced a $35 million strategic investment round led by S2G Ventures (“S2G”), positioning Urbint to further develop its resiliency and storm response solutions for utilities, as an already devastating hurricane season is not yet over.

“Hurricanes Helene and Milton were a stark reminder of the impact that climate change and major storms can have on our electrical grids,” said Corey Capasso, CEO of Urbint. “This strategic investment from S2G will enable us to provide a broader offering of storm response solutions to utilities, helping them to restore power faster and save lives in the process.”

Urbint for Storm Response is a centralized platform for managing the entire storm and natural disaster response process – from handling logistics, to managing emergency work, to allocating resources in real-time. With Urbint, utilities secure contractors faster, manage crew lodging and meals better, use response dollars more efficiently, and shorten restoration times.

“As we have seen in recent months, the higher frequency and intensity of storms poses a significant threat to our energy infrastructure. Our view is that resiliency against extreme weather events is of the utmost importance for utilities and there is a strong urgency to invest in mitigation and adaptation measures,” said Bala Nagarajan, managing director of S2G’s Energy Investment team. “Urbint’s software offers utilities the ability to adapt to climate change while improving grid uptime and safety. We believe that Urbint is poised to play a pivotal role in transforming how utilities manage risk and battle climate change.”

Urbint’s AI-powered risk mitigation solutions enable utilities to identify threats and target their resources to prevent incidents and improve safety and reliability. Many of the largest utilities in the country, including Southern Company, Exelon, and National Grid, trust Urbint to help them protect underground infrastructure, prevent serious injuries and fatalities, and respond to and restore power faster after major weather events.
