Hello! Happy UrbanTech Thursday — welcome to this free edition of UrbanTech. Earlier this morning, we sent paying UT members the first entry in our UrbanTech Map project. We are also giving access to this post for free subscribers because it gives you a good feel for where we’ll be going as we build out UrbanTech!

UrbanTech Market Map #1

When I started UT last summer, I had a simple model for categorizing the stories, companies, and trends we covered. In the post, I explain that model and categorize a bunch of the startups we covered over the last year. (Fun fact: UT’s one-year anniversary is tomorrow!)

b massive thank you to all of the folks who have read, shared, supported our work over the last 12 months! After 12 months of a free model, we’re excited to continue going deeper into our work and I hope you’ll consider joining UT as paid members. 🙏

We’ll be doing some special events, and deeper dives this Summer for paid members on the companies and trends featured in this first version of the market map!

Join the UrbanTech Community!

I did a quick tweetstorm earlier today with some highlights from the post if you’re busy and can’t read the full piece:

One of the best things about @UrbanTechNews paid model is that we'll be able to do a more in-depth series and research the growing intersection of cities and tech! We launched our first project today called the UT Market Map! 🧵🧵🧵

For the first year of writing UT, content fell into 3 buckets: 1. Real Estate Tech 2. Mobility Tech 3. Logistics Tech These areas overlap a ton, but it felt like I could mentally organize companies into these categories

Logistics tech, which we broadly define as companies focused on the movement of goods or items includes companies like: @flexport @UberEats @Postmates @FetchRobotics @amazon (the king of logistics tech imo) @gopuff @Seamless

Some key kinds of tech were not included in this first post but we'll look at them further in @UrbanTechNews: - Software and platforms designed for governments - More niche and in the weeds cleantech and sustainability tech - Startups not mainly operating in North America!

We'll continue to build out the series for free readers, but paying UT members will more in-depth content, events, and more related to the series! If you're a fellow cities obsessive who also loves innovation, consider joining the UrbanTech community!
