DeepWalk, founded in 2019 and based in Chicago, develops technology that automates sidewalk and curb ramp inspections for ADA compliance. The company's platform uses iPhone LiDAR to scan pedestrian infrastructure, generating detailed 3D models and producing 58 measurements per inspection. Its clients include municipalities, cities, engineering consultants, and universities across the United States.
The company's work sits at the intersection of several technical domains: iPhone LiDAR technology, 3D modeling, and AI-powered automated inspections. This approach replaces manual surveying methods with a system that aims to streamline the compliance process for public infrastructure.
DeepWalk serves over 120 municipalities nationwide and has raised $4.2 million in funding to date. Its focus on pedestrian infrastructure addresses a specific regulatory need, as municipalities must ensure sidewalks and curb ramps meet ADA standards.
