About

Our story
Mach9 was founded in 2021 by four researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute to accelerate how teams model and understand the world.
Working alongside surveyors, we saw opportunities to streamline repetitive feature-extraction tasks. Inspired by the rigor and precision of surveying, we set out to build the fastest, most accurate automated feature-extraction technology.
We started in transportation and telecom surveying, where it takes days to weeks to create highly accurate maps at huge scale with mobile mapping. Our flagship product, Digital Surveyor, is trusted by the top transportation agencies and engineering firms in the U.S. and Canada and enables our customers to extract miles of road corridor projects in a fraction of the time.
Our company, like our platform, is built for speed. We work fast, iterate with customer feedback, and never compromise on excellence. Headquartered in San Francisco, Mach9 empowers the architecture, engineering, and construction industries to tackle large-scale and long-range projects efficiently, unlocking new opportunities for more intelligent, more resilient infrastructure development.
