Lacuna Technologies builds and manages open-source digital twins for cities to model and regulate all forms of mobility, including delivery, rideshare, drones and regular traffic. Since its 2018 founding the company has worked with cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle and Miami to help planners and transportation agencies monitor conditions, run simulations, and implement regulations. Lacuna emphasizes operational control rather than historical planning data, enabling cities to set digital policies that operators can transmit to and receive from in real time. Use cases include geofencing scooter fleets (an LA project in 2019), dynamic curb pricing, and caps on drone movements, with the company focusing on applications that sit on top of its digital twins. Lacuna positions its tools to help cities monetize and manage the public right of way and to ensure operator compliance via digital data exchanges. The company has raised a total of $33.5 million to date and plans to use new capital to expand into new markets and hire engineering teams to build digital twins and connect applications.
