💧 About Pallon

At Pallon, we build machine learning software to automatically detect defects in sewer inspection videos and consult cities when to fix them. With more accurate and objective data, we help to fix wastewater leaks, reduce CO2 emissions, and prevent urban flooding. Join us in our mission to make cities more sustainable and resilient.
