Lambent
Lambent is a Boston-based B2B software company that turns existing Wi-Fi and sensor data into anonymous, predictive occupancy and space-utilization analytics. Its SaaS platform, Lambent Spaces, helps space planners at colleges, universities and corporate campuses understand how buildings are actually used - without installing new hardware or tracking individuals - so they can make data-driven decisions about renovations, capacity, energy use and real estate. Founded in 2017 as Armored Things and rebranded to Lambent in 2022, the company works with customers including the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and partners such as Siemens, Planon and HPE Aruba Networks.
Occuspace
Occuspace is a smart-building company that measures how physical spaces are actually used. Its plug-in sensors passively read ambient Bluetooth and WiFi signals - never cameras or personal data - to estimate real-time occupancy, foot traffic and dwell time, then feed the numbers into a dashboard and the free Waitz app. Founded in 2017 by three UC San Diego roommates, it now serves 100+ university campuses plus corporate and federal customers, helping them cut wasted space, save energy and plan facilities from data instead of guesswork.
Density
Density is a San Francisco-based people-analytics company that builds privacy-first sensors and software to measure how offices, buildings, and other spaces are actually used in real time. Founded in 2014 by Andrew Farah, it pairs radar and depth-sensing hardware with its Atlas analytics platform to help enterprises cut real estate costs, plan hybrid workplaces, and understand utilization without cameras or personally identifiable data. Backed by more than $225 million in funding and a $1.05 billion valuation, Density serves Fortune 500 customers across dozens of countries.
Robin
Robin is a Boston-based workplace management platform that helps companies run hybrid offices - booking desks and meeting rooms, mapping floor plans, managing visitors, and measuring how space actually gets used. Founded in 2014 by brothers Sam and Zach Dunn with Brian Muse, Robin now serves thousands of organizations worldwide, including HubSpot, Peloton, Riot Games and UNICEF, and has layered AI agents on top of the office to automate the busywork of getting people and rooms in the same place.
