From clearing landmines to building the "Google Maps of what's beneath the ground" - sometimes the most unexpected backgrounds create the biggest breakthroughs.
Most people can't imagine that we don't actually know where underground utilities are buried. Yet there are 169,000 construction projects happening every single day in the US that need this critical information.
In today's episode of Bricks and Bytes, we had Itzik from 4M Analytics and we got to learn about turning military explosive detection expertise into construction tech, the tragic consequences when underground mapping fails, and how AI is revolutionizing subsurface data... and many more!
Tune in to find out about:
✅ How military landmine detection skills translate to finding buried utilities
✅ Why 8% of every construction budget goes to unknown underground risks
✅ The business model that maps once but sells the same data forever
✅ From 104 employees to mapping 22 US states in one year
