We build the real-world data infrastructure that Physical AI depends on — continuous, real-time, and anonymous by design.

Why This Matters Now

Cities are being asked to improve safety, mobility, and efficiency without the tools to see what’s actually happening.

At the same time, AI and emerging intelligent systems are advancing quickly—but lack real-world data.

We are building the infrastructure layer that solves both problems.

What We Do

We install small sensor systems on existing infrastructure like light poles and rooftops to capture how cities operate in real time.

Our systems use technologies like LiDAR (3D spatial mapping), radar (weather-resistant detection), and environmental sensing to measure movement, traffic flow, and conditions without relying on cameras.

This creates a continuous stream of structured, anonymized data that cities can use to improve operations and that AI systems rely on to understand the physical world.

“Cities need better visibility, but they don’t want more surveillance. We built this to measure how systems move and behave.

The real opportunity isn’t collecting more data—it’s collecting the right kind of data. Data that’s continuous, real-time, and doesn’t depend on identifying people.

That’s what makes this usable at scale and valuable over time.”

Miguel Jaramillo, Co-founder & CEO

We measure patterns. Not people.

This Is Already Happening

1. Live deployment in New Orleans
2. 50+ locations in active deployment
3. 70 locations targeted for 2026 across 4 cities
4. 3,000+ location national pipeline secured
5. NVIDIA Inception member
6. 🏆 ICW 2026 Championship Winner (Kingscrowd Audience Vote)

This is not a concept. The infrastructure is live.

This is already working. The question is how fast it scales.

🏙️ For Cities and Citizens

This starts with cities and the people who live in them. Cities get real-time visibility into how their streets actually function.

For you, that means:

1. Safer intersections
2. Less time in traffic
3. Faster emergency response
4. Better everyday infrastructure

Every deployed location improves how your city works in real time.

🔒 Anonymous by Physics

This is not a camera network. Our sensors do not capture faces, license plates, or identities. They see the world as movement and shapes.

We call this Anonymous by Physics.

In practice, that means: you are never identified. Your movement is never stored or tied to you. And your privacy doesn’t depend on a policy someone could change — it’s built directly into the hardware.

This is infrastructure designed to understand what is happening, without ever knowing who you are.

🤖 For AI, Technology and Enterprise

Once this infrastructure exists, it creates a new data layer for AI systems.

AI can finally understand what is happening in the real world, not just online or in simulations.

That shows up in everyday ways. Transportation systems become more responsive, deliveries become more reliable, and technology adapts to real conditions instead of assumptions.

This is how AI becomes useful in daily life, not just theoretical.

💰 For investors

This is infrastructure, not a one-time product. Think about cell towers — one tower goes up, multiple carriers pay to use it, year after year.

Surge works the same way, except the infrastructure also makes your streets safer. We deploy it, multiple customers pay for the data, and the network generates recurring revenue from the same physical asset over time.

This is an asset class that has historically been limited to institutions — now you can own a piece of it, often in your own community.

Each Node:

1. Improves safety
2. Generates recurring revenue
3. Serves multiple customers simultaneously

Each new location deployment creates both a safer intersection and a revenue-generating asset.

Third-party Validation

An independent data valuation firm, Gulp Data, evaluated Surge’s datasets in Q4 2025 and characterized them as technically robust, standardized, and suitable for commercialization.

Future projections are not guarateed.

This is a conservative estimate, reflecting only the structured data products sold directly, and not including additional revenue from raw data licensing or downstream applications.

“Transportation and mobility data is becoming one of the fastest-appreciating categories we track. Across the market, we're seeing rapid growth in demand for real-time, high fidelity sensor data because it's directly fueling autonomous systems, traffic automation, insurance models, and next-generation logistics.

Surge and its partners are positioned to produce the kind of continuous, structured data supply that financial markets increasingly recognize as a balance-sheet asset.”

Lauren Cascio, Founding Partner, Gulp Data

How It Works

1. We install — Sensors are deployed on existing infrastructure. No major construction required.
2. We collect — Continuous data on traffic, movement, and environmental conditions.
3. We sell — Cities, AI companies, logistics, real estate, and insurance providers pay recurring fees for access.

One intersection. Multiple buyers. Continuous revenue.

When Surge is running in a city, it creates a live, continuous picture of how streets actually function.

Every vehicle, every pedestrian, every crossing is captured as movement and patterns, not identity. No cameras. No faces. Just real-time understanding.

Once that layer exists, cities and systems gain capabilities they’ve never had before.

Systems Don’t Have To Guess Anymore

A delivery robot, a transit bus, and a person crossing the street don’t have to figure out where each other are independently.

They can operate from the same shared understanding of what’s happening.

A vehicle can anticipate movement before its own sensors would detect it, because the network already sees the full intersection.

Infrastructure Responds In Real Time

Streets stop being static.

In a snowstorm, when stopping distances increase, crosswalk timing can automatically adjust.

If a specific corner shows a pattern of near-misses on Friday nights, it gets flagged and fixed.

Emergency vehicles move faster because the system knows where they are and clears the path ahead of them.

The System Learns From The Street

Over time, the network learns from millions of real-world observations.

It recognizes patterns like increased risk during school hours or changing behavior in bad weather.

Instead of reacting after something happens, infrastructure can adapt in advance, reducing incidents before they occur.

This is what real-world data enables.

Safer streets. Faster response. Smarter systems.

We are a Public Benefit Corporation, which means we are required to consider community impact alongside shareholder returns.

As this network expands, the infrastructure around you improves, cities operate more effectively, and the value created is shared rather than extracted.

This is built so that communities are not just sources of data, but participants in the value it creates.

Why Now

Real-world data is becoming a foundational layer of the global economy. But that infrastructure does not yet exist at scale.

We are building it.

What Makes This Different

This is not:

1. A camera network
2. A software platform
3. A centralized data monopoly

This is physical infrastructure that generates continuous, real-world data.

How We Scale

Who we work with

We deploy through partnerships with infrastructure operators who already control the poles, conduit, and right-of-way where our sensors are installed.

That means faster rollout, lower cost, and fewer permitting barriers than building from scratch.

Our technology stack is built with partners across 3D perception (Cron AI), edge AI (Blue-Band), digital twins (True North), data commercialization (Gulp Data), and the NVIDIA Inception Program.

Surge is a member of the NVIDIA Inception Program^{1© 2025 NVIDIA, the NVIDIA logo, and the NVIDIA Inception program are trademarks and/or registered trademarks of NVIDIA Corporation in the U.S. and other countries.}, with access to NVIDIA’s AI ecosystem, technical resources, and go-to-market support.

What needs to go right

This is early-stage infrastructure. Growth depends on deployment speed, city adoption, and how quickly the network scales.

We're addressing this through phased city rollouts, strategic partnerships, and integration with infrastructure that's already in the ground.

Each location costs approximately $70,000 to deploy.

Estimated:

1. $250K–$1M annual revenue per location.
2. Under 5-month projected payback.
3. Operating costs below 10% of revenue.

This behaves more like a utility network than a startup.

Future projections are not guaranteed.

Why Surge

This is not just a software problem. It requires working with cities, infrastructure owners, and real-world deployment environments.

That’s where most companies fail.

We’ve spent years operating at that intersection.

1. Deploying infrastructure in complex municipal environments
2. Structuring and financing real-world projects
3. Building distributed systems at the edge

Our team brings experience across infrastructure, finance, and edge computing.

Miguel Jaramillo has spent 20+ years working in municipal and mobility infrastructure, including leading business development at Integrated Roadways.

Brandon Richman brings 20+ years in infrastructure finance, with experience at Black & Veatch and Diode Ventures.

John Cowan co-founded 6fusion and EDJX, helping pioneer distributed edge computing.

We build and deploy in the real world, not just in code.

We are raising through a Safer.

Here’s what that means in plain English:

1. You fund infrastructure deployment
2. You receive revenue-based payments
3. 4.735% of company revenue is distributed (pro rata)
4. Target return: 2.5x early investors, then 2x
5. Converts to equity in a major event

You participate in revenue today and equity upside later.

If this scales, early participants benefit the most.

Future projections are not guaranteed.

Use Of Funds

Our capital is focused on building and scaling the infrastructure that drives the network and bringing that infrastructure online with revenue:

1. Sensor deployments
2. City expansion
3. Data platform and analytics
4. Sales and commercialization
5. Infrastructure operations

This means not just deploying nodes, but activating them with customers and recurring data contracts.

As the network grows, each location generates more data, supports more customers, and increases in value over time

Momentum

The infrastructure is live.

The data is flowing.

The network is expanding.

The investment community has spoken — Surge won the 🏆 ICW 2026 Championship at Kingscrowd by audience vote.

The Bigger Picture

AI will depend on real-world data.

The question is who owns that infrastructure—and who benefits.

We believe it should start with cities and the people who live in them.
