Itzik Malka

Itzik Malka is the co-founder and CEO of 4M Analytics, an Austin- and Israel-based company building what he calls the Google Maps of the underground. Drawing on a decade in an elite Israeli combat-engineering unit clearing buried explosives, he now leads a 130-person team that fuses AI, satellite imagery and public utility records to map the hidden network of pipes, cables and conduits beneath America before crews dig. 4M has raised roughly $119 million to date, including a Series C, and counts firms like AECOM and Stantec and multiple state DOTs among its customers.
