The team
building spatial
intelligence.
We started in the field — real-time rescue coordination during the 2023 Turkey earthquake. That experience showed us what spatial AI actually requires. We've been building it ever since.

“Real-time coordination
while rubble was
still settling.”
That deployment exposed the gap: no system existed to turn raw sensor data into queryable spatial understanding fast enough to matter. So we built one.

Who we are.
Alper Gel
CEOBerkeley grad. Background in computer vision and disaster response. Led real-time coordination during the 2023 Turkey earthquake, which became the founding moment for Percept.
Victor Wu
CTODartmouth grad. Built end-to-end computer vision, geospatial analytics, and data processing systems. Northeastern MS in ML/SWE. Shipping the reconstruction and understanding pipeline.
Sam Cornelison
CGOBerkeley grad. 5+ years enterprise sales into public safety. Founding AE at Prepared and Hyper, got first annual contracts for both. Built our $1.2M pipeline in 3 states with $90K spent.
Guided by experts.
Decades of experience in emergency management, spatial computing, and public safety.

world programmable.
We believe that understanding the physical world should be as accessible as querying a database. Every building, road, tree, and terrain feature should be indexed, queryable, and simulatable.
Our technology reconstructs environments from any sensor, understands them at a semantic level, and simulates real-world physics — all through a single platform and API.
