Build Smart. Live Better.

We’re helping start-ups re-invent the world.

Cities are our future.

Cities are at an inflection point. Rapid urbanization, failing infrastructure, and climate change are putting tremendous stress on urban communities. At the same time, digitization, advances in material science, AI, and cloud, offer an incredible opportunity to disrupt the way we design, build, and operate cities. Today, we now can—and must—improve the livability, sustainability, and resilience of cities. That is our goal, our purpose, our mission: build smarter, live better.

The ACTUATOR is a new class of business accelerator, called a business ACTUATOR, that can more rapidly move early stage ventures to commercialization and reduce downstream investor risk.  We are uniquely focused on infrastructure, the built environment, and on changing how to design, build and operate civil infrastructure. Our twice-yearly 90-day intensive business actuation program is designed to propel graduating companies into the marketplace endowed with proven products, and equipped with the skills to grow and compete for funding and market share.
