Infogrid provides an AI-powered building intelligence and analytics platform that helps landlords and occupiers identify inefficiencies, reduce energy consumption, and lower carbon emissions. The platform also supplies high-quality data to support sustainability reporting and compliance with emerging disclosure rules. Infogrid positions its product as a tool for maintaining investor and market access by demonstrating ESG commitments. The company is trusted by customers including Hilton Worldwide, Bridge Commercial Real Estate, and Invesco. Leadership changes include the appointment of climate tech leader Kate Henningsen as CEO and the addition of four experienced board members. Infogrid was recently ranked among the top 10 global tech companies leading action on climate, and the new funding is intended to scale its real estate decarbonisation solutions. Infogrid offers an AI-powered platform that ingests data from an ecosystem of IoT sensors to track occupancy, air quality, cleaning needs, energy usage and CO2 levels, providing context to help property managers optimize buildings. The company says its AI is trained on user feedback and the large volume of signals it collects — nearly 4 billion data points per month, up from 500 million a year ago. Infogrid plans to use new capital for product development, strategic hires and customer acquisition as it scales. CEO William Cowell de Gruchy, who founded the company in 2018, cites 5x growth last year and regulatory and sustainability tailwinds driving demand. The startup serves major commercial real estate services companies but declines to disclose revenue; it has roughly a 250-person headcount. Infogrid competes with players such as BrainBox, Sidewalk Labs’ Mesa, Facilio and Buildings IOT, and often partners with or differentiates from these vendors by offering occupancy and air-quality context alongside other building data. Infogrid provides an end-to-end smart building system that retrofits existing buildings with IoT sensors combined with proprietary AI analysis. The platform is used to improve facilities management for large FM providers, including global banks, supermarkets, restaurant chains and the NHS. Its sensors can detect refrigerated products outside required temperature ranges, measure air quality, and check for virus-risk indicators such as Legionnaires' disease in water pipes. Infogrid positions itself with an impact-style mission to reduce the environmental and social costs of buildings while improving clients' bottom lines and asset values. The company has attracted institutional capital and attention as a solution to digitize a traditionally low-tech facilities management sector. Infogrid is led by founder and CEO William Cowell de Gruchy, a former British Army officer.
