Wednesday night we were one of three teams left standing at the AWS Builder Loft. Thursday afternoon we walked onto the main stage at The Midway. Three minutes. Two minutes of live Q&A. A room full of founders, operators, and investors from around the world.
Steven Santovasi, Co-Founder, Co-CEO & CPO, put the company on that stage the way we have been building it: we are rebuilding the next generation of geospatial infrastructure from first principles. 
The problem, then the product
Bitruvius exists to close it.
We are not wrapping old codecs in a new UI. We rebuilt the substrate. Ten codecs. One suite. Flagship formats in RIPT and BVC for raster and volumetric data, plus eight drop-in replacements so teams can swap a library and keep the wire format.
Decoders are live today through the Bitruvius SDK for JavaScript. The Bitruvius SDK for MapLibre is in public beta. Encoders are in limited private beta.
You do not migrate the world to start. You swap the layer underneath it.
We also pitched what’s coming next, including our early-stage Spatial Engine, supercharged at the core with the TurboCharged Bitruvius codecs and much more…
Three minutes. Two minutes of live Q&A. That was the pitch. 
- Emily Bennett, Investment Partner, Andreessen Horowitz
- Ray Dargham, Co-Founder & CEO, Step
- Nuno Pedro, Founder & Managing Partner, Chamaeleon
They asked the questions that matter. We are grateful they gave geospatial infrastructure that kind of attention on the main stage.
Congratulations to Siftr (siftr.ai) on winning the competition. They earned it. And respect to HelixPlus (myhelixplus.com) for sharing that final-three stage with us. Three minutes is a short window. All three teams used it.
And thank you to the Step team for the invitation. Spatial data sits under more of that stack than most people notice. We wanted the conversation to start there. Step made room for it.
On the floor
The pitch put Bitruvius on stage. The kiosk and the meetings put the product in front of people.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, sat down, and took the time.
What happens next
If you work with imagery, point clouds, 3D data, we want to hear what you are shipping and what is slowing it down.

The morning after the pitch, Andreessen Horowitz announced the Machine Age Fund: $1.1 billion for the physical buildout of AI. Chips, memory, networking, storage, systems software, and the machines that bring intelligence into the physical world. Models are outrunning the infrastructure underneath them. That is the stack we sit in. We are optimizing the codecs and geospatial layer for modern CPUs and GPUs, and building the formats this era actually needs. 
See you there.
