Powering Utility Resilience with Urbint

In this “The Pitch” style episode we dive into how Urbint is transforming utility resilience with AI-powered solutions for storm response, damage prevention, and worker safety. Founder and CEO Corey Capasso joins S2G’s Chuck Templeton and Bala Nagarajan to discuss why utilities, which are facing numerous challenges from aging infrastructure to extreme weather and workforce turnover, need smarter, faster, and more adaptable solutions. They explore how Urbint is helping utilities move beyond phone calls and spreadsheets, equipping them with granular and actionable risk assessment and powerful emergency response tools that save lives and keep the lights on. They discuss why Urbint is a “painkiller, not a vitamin” for the utility sector and why the company is in line with S2G’s climate adaptation thesis. Urbint is proving that operational resilience isn’t just a nice-to-have but is a core driver of long-term viability and value in a rapidly changing utility landscape.

Key takeaways:

1. Adaptation is Becoming a Utility Imperative: With increasing storm frequency, aging infrastructure, and workforce shortages, utilities urgently need solutions that help them respond faster and operate more safely. 
2. AI is Unlocking Real-Time Precision Risk Assessment: Corey shares that by transforming weather forecasts into actionable intelligence and enabling utilities to pre-stage work crews and resources, Urbint’s AI-powered product suite can reduce outage times, prevent accidents, and enhance worker and public safety.
3. Centering Relationships and Impact Communication: Despite the utility sector being a tough industry for a software company to break into, Bala and Corey underscore the value of deep industry ties, a clear impact narrative, and solutions that directly address utilities’ top priorities—worker safety, uptime, and storm readiness.
4. Multi-Product Strategies Can Drive Speed and Scale
    By offering three distinct but complementary solutions, damage prevention, storm response, and worker safety, Urbint has been able to accelerate adoption across departments and reduce friction in large organizations.
5. Resiliency as a Strategic Advantage: As regulators and stakeholders increasingly tie utility performance to response times, outage metrics, and safety outcomes, Bala and Corey share how Urbint can offer a competitive edge and help utilities not just survive, but thrive in an age of climate volatility.
