Sentinel City.

The intelligence layer for African cities.

Sentinel City turns the physical state of a city into a continuously-updated, queryable dataset. Streets, infrastructure, services, conditions — measured as they actually are.

THE PROBLEM
No one knows the city.

Governments plan with maps that are years out of date. Investors place bets on infrastructure they've never inspected. Operators dispatch teams based on complaint calls, not data. The satellite image is too coarse. The door-to-door survey is too slow.

And nobody has eyes on the street — continuously, at the resolution decisions actually need.

THE SYSTEM
How Sentinel City works.
01
Divide the city into a grid.

Every deployment area is broken into operational cells. In Ibadan North, that's 52 cells. Every cell has a priority, a capture cadence, and a status.

02
Deploy capture vehicles with integrated rigs.

A crowdsourced driver network equipped with 360° cameras, GPS, and hot-swap storage captures every cell on rotation. Drivers earn per verified capture.

03
Run captures through the AI pipeline.

Raw footage flows into detection and classification models trained on African ground-truth. Every frame produces structured, timestamped, geolocated observations.

04
Serve intelligence to decision-makers.

Governments, investors, and operators access the data through purpose-built dashboards — filtered by category, by cell, by date, by severity.

First pilot · Ibadan North

Government-approved.

Following a demo to Oyo State government officials, Sentinel City secured approval to map Ibadan North LGA — our first pilot and the foundation for a state-wide rollout.

Who it's for

Built for the people who have to act on the data.

Government

Plan, budget, and measure infrastructure investment against ground-truth. No more guesses. No more outdated surveys.

Investors

Due-diligence at the street level. Verify the physical state of markets before the capital goes in.

Operators

Utilities, logistics, telcos, insurers — anyone whose business depends on knowing what's actually on the ground.

See your city, finally.
