01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
SmartSite was a London construction-safety startup founded in 2016 by Michael Andrea and James Batstone, a Y Combinator Summer 2016 company. It combined a rugged on-site smart device - off-the-shelf sensors for noise, airborne particulates, and UV - with proprietary cloud software and dashboards that showed construction teams where workers were safe or at risk, helping firms protect health and comply with regulation.
