Overview

CivilGrid builds a collaborative map and design workspace that consolidates subsurface utility assets, property ownership, environmental rules, and related site data for utilities, civil engineers, and infrastructure owners. On August 27, 2026 the company announced a $26 million Series A led by Spark Capital, with Energy Impact Partners, Afore Capital, A*, Ford Street Ventures, and SNR Ventures participating. Named customers in the release include Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Atmos Energy, Mark Thomas, and GHD. The Business Wire release attributes PG&E results of more than $60 million in paving conflicts avoided, a 40% reduction in field research and survey work, and up to four months faster scoping. Those are company/PG&E-attributed operating metrics, not independently audited financials. Valuation and revenue were not disclosed. Founder and CEO Josh Mackanic previously spent a decade as a PG&E engineer. Energy Impact Partners also returned on Form Energy’s August 12 Series G.

Competitive landscape

Edge: Named incumbent utility customer (PG&E) plus an energy-transition LP network via Energy Impact Partners. That is a distribution signal, not a disclosed ARR multiple.

CivilGrid is a Series A software bet that incomplete underground maps are the scarce input for grid and civil construction. Emerald prices load flexibility. Form Energy prices multi-day storage. Diligence is named MW of projects planned on the map, not the $3.7T infrastructure slide in the release.

  • Emerald AI adjacent

    Software that flexes data-center load on today's grid ($1.05B Series A, Aug 25, 2026). Same bottleneck (building and interconnecting power), different product. See /startup/emerald-ai.

  • Form Energy adjacent

    100-hour iron-air batteries ($750M Series G, Aug 12, 2026). EIP returned. Hardware vs CivilGrid's site-data software. See /startup/form-energy.

  • 811 / One-Call locators incumbent

    Statutory locate-before-you-dig workflow. CivilGrid is pitching earlier, portfolio-level planning data rather than a field locate ticket.

Notable stories

  • CEO Josh Mackanic left a 10-year PG&E engineering job after a three-day delay identifying an unknown pipe cost $60,000 (TechCrunch, Aug 27, 2026).
