History

[edit | edit source]

Butlr was founded by San Francisco-based engineers Honghao Deng and Jiani Zeng in 2019 as a spinoff of MIT Media Lab.[2]

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Butlr retooled its technology by adding software features such as maximum occupancy and queue management to help businesses comply with pandemic-related restrictions.[5]

Deng and Zeng were named to 2020 Forbes 30 Under 30 List in the Manufacturing & Industry category for their work with Butlr.[6]

In November 2022, Butlr announced a partnership with real estate technology company Propstack to provide occupancy sensing technology for commercial real estate projects in India.[7] Butlr was named one of the World Economic Forum's Technology Pioneers of 2022.[8][9][10][11]

In 2022, Butlr also announced a marketing partnership with GP Pro, a division of Georgia-Pacific.[12] Butlr also collaborated with Carrier Global Corporation to embed its technology into Carrier's cloud-based digital platform Abound.[13][14]

In 2023, Butlr announced the Heatic 2, the latest edition of its mountable wireless sensor.[1][15][16]

The World Economic Forum also selected Butlr for its Yes San Francisco program, which was created to revitalize the city's business district.[15]

In 2024, Butlr began providing heat sensor technology and an artificial intelligence query tool named Butlr Care GPT to healthcare companies through its Butlr Care brand.[17][18] Butlr also won the Sustainability Award at the 2024 Core 77 Design Awards.[19]
