## About

Founded in 2021 and based in Alabama, US, City Detect, Inc. provides homes and housing analysis and information services for cities. Gavin Baum-Blake (CEO) and Erik Johnson (CTO) are the co-founders of the company. In March 2026, City Detect, Inc. raised USD 13 million in series A funding led by Prudence, with participation from Zeal Capital Partners, Knoll Ventures and Las Olas Venture Capital.

The company specializes in using advanced AI and computer vision to help local governments and nonprofits streamline urban development and code enforcement efforts.

The firm’s AI technology then analyzes this data to identify property issues that negatively impact communities, providing detailed, actionable reports for city leaders and organizations to make data-driven decisions. The company’s range of clients includes local governments across the Southeastern U.S. and nonprofits like Habitat for Humanity.
