TBED Works: With significant early support from MassVentures, Cyvl applies technology innovation to public works
When Daniel Pelaez took a job with the Town of Southbury, Connecticut Public Works Department after his first year at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, he learned lessons that, a few years later, would become the basis for his startup, Cyvl. Daniel spent a season on the public works road crew fixing issues flagged by residents or found by the road foreman.

Daniel spent a season on the public works road crew fixing issues flagged by residents or found by the road foreman. He asked the public works director how they kept track of road conditions, and the director explained that they conventionally paid civil engineering consultants to capture the data by hand by walking and driving the streets with clipboards.
