Motmot made the PitchMI Top 20 this year

Aging water infrastructure is failing faster than cities can keep up. With over 240,000 water main breaks each year, water utilities are forced to react to failures instead of preventing them. The problem is a lack of visibility and actionable data for hard to reach water assets. Motmot provides data-driven asset management for underground water main and water infrastructure. Our Underwater Robots inspect live, pressurized pipelines through non-invasive fire hydrant access. We identifying defects, and collect in system data—without shutting down service. We’ve built a Robotic Inspection Platform that turns data into a risk assessment profile, helping water utilities prioritize repairs and optimize budgets. Instead of selling hardware, we operate as a Hardware-as-a-Data-Service (HaaDS) platform, deploying our technology and delivering risk assessments at scale. Utilities get the information they need without the complexity of owning or maintaining inspection equipment. Backed by municipal partners, research institutions, and industry leaders, Motmot is making the underground visible—so cities can move from reactive repairs to predictive planning. 🔹 Interested in piloting our technology?
