Spun out of the MIT Media Lab in 2019, Butlr was founded with a mission to make the built environment people-aware. Butlr's People Sensing Platform anonymously infers human presence and activity via its thermal, wireless sensors to deliver rich spatial insights at a fraction of the cost and time of legacy alternatives. Since the launch of its platform in 2021, the company is already working with dozens of occupiers, landlords and service providers.
