In this “The Pitch” style episode we dive into how Urbint is transforming utility resilience with AI-powered solutions for storm response, damage prevention, and worker safety.
Founder and CEO Corey Capasso joins S2G’s Chuck Templeton and Bala Nagarajan to discuss why utilities, which are facing numerous challenges from aging infrastructure to extreme weather and workforce turnover, need smarter, faster, and more adaptable solutions. They explore how Urbint is helping utilities move beyond phone calls and spreadsheets, equipping them with granular and actionable risk assessment and powerful emergency response tools that save lives and keep the lights on. They discuss why Urbint is a “painkiller, not a vitamin” for the utility sector and why the company is in line with S2G’s climate adaptation thesis. Urbint is proving that operational resilience isn’t just a nice-to-have but is a core driver of long-term viability and value in a rapidly changing utility landscape.
