Brent McKay Kept the Signal and Changed the Question
For years, Brent McKay built technology to understand who was near a screen. Then he aimed the same sensing logic at a harder problem: knowing what is happening around a military installation when the network cannot be trusted.
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.
