Citylitics

Citylitics is a pioneering intelligence platform that transforms the way infrastructure-related businesses engage with public sector opportunities across North America. Headquartered in Toronto, the company was founded by Ahmed Badruddin and Sunit Mohindroo, whose original insight stemmed from earlier ventures in public data aggregation for water infrastructure. Recognizing a huge, untapped market across all civil infrastructure sectors, they built Citylitics to aggregate millions of public records—spanning council minutes, budgets, permits, environmental compliance, and more—from over 40,000 cities, utilities, and agencies in the United States and Canada. Using proprietary AI technology augmented by expert data analysts, Citylitics sifts and synthesizes this immense data pool, converting it into actionable, predictive insights that empower manufacturers, engineering firms, utilities, and suppliers to proactively target upcoming infrastructure projects long before official RFPs are published. Rather than functioning as a simple RFP tracker, Citylitics delivers intelligence one to five years ahead of formal bidding processes. Its Intelligence Feeds enable customers to track early-stage opportunities, build relationships before projects reach the procurement phase, and strategically position their solutions to shape project requirements. The optional dashboard add-ons—including the Capital Projects Dashboard, Environmental Monitoring Dashboard, State Revolving Funds Dashboard, and Municipal Broadband Dashboard—offer granular views into hundreds of thousands of infrastructure plans, compliance events, funding streams, and broadband projects. These comprehensive tools allow users to surface upcoming needs for water, wastewater, stormwater, power, metering, transportation, and safety, giving sales teams a decisive edge in competitive markets. The value proposition centers on boosting early-stage sales activity, increasing sales pipeline efficiency, and maximizing win rates for infrastructure service providers. Citylitics uniquely combines technology-driven automation and human-centric research, validating and refining raw insights with direct customer feedback. Its collaborative approach results in personalized intelligence feeds, helping companies nurture pipeline relationships, raise operational efficiency, and avoid missed opportunities due to bandwidth constraints or market blind spots. Many of the largest and fastest-growing firms in public infrastructure have adopted Citylitics as a strategic partner, using its intelligence to influence project scopes, budgets, and specifications well before procurement processes formally begin. In terms of business impact, clients consistently report measurable results: uncovering multi-million dollar projects that would otherwise remain hidden, swiftly connecting with key decision makers, and switching from inefficient, reactive sales approaches to proactive, high-value engagement. Citylitics’ real-time filters help sellers prioritize outreach based on market, geography, project size, and owner profile, resulting in better resource allocation and faster revenue growth. With over $7.4 million in revenue and a team that has rapidly expanded in response to market demand—including a doubling of staff post-Series A funding—the company continues to innovate and extend its reach into new infrastructure verticals, such as broadband, renewable energy, waste management, and power.

Citylitics delivers a distinct competitive edge in the public infrastructure intelligence market by combining three core advantages: unmatched depth and breadth of early-stage, predictive data; proprietary AI-driven insight extraction and contextualization; and a uniquely collaborative, customer-feedback-powered intelligence cycle. Unlike competitors who focus heavily on tracking published RFPs or late-stage bid notifications, Citylitics identifies project opportunities one to five years ahead of formal procurement, dramatically expanding the planning-to-sales window and giving clients the time and context they need to influence outcomes and build relationships with decision makers long before bidding starts. The intelligence engine at the platform's core ingests and normalizes millions of public documents—council minutes, budgets, permits, capital plans, environmental compliance records—and is supported by advanced natural language processing, machine learning, and generative AI hosted on Google Cloud. This approach not only expedites signal identification but also increases the total coverage of relevant data sources (over 40,000 cities, utilities, and agencies). Cascading layers of AI ensure that Citylitics can reveal predictive signals and personalized associations that competitors may miss in fragmented, unstructured data. As a result, the platform provides clarity, context, and actionable recommendations on future projects and funding streams, supported by traceable source data—an assurance for business development teams who require reliable intelligence for strategic planning.
