Company Overview

Butlr is an MIT Media Lab spinout founded in 2019 by Honghao Deng and Jiani Zeng. The company develops patented palm-sized wireless thermal sensors (Heatic series) that detect body heat to anonymously infer human presence, activity, occupancy, indoor location, and body posture — without capturing any personally identifiable information. Its AI platform delivers actionable spatial intelligence for commercial real estate, healthcare/senior care, and workplace optimization.

Butlr has raised over $78M including a $38M Series B led by Foundry, and is headquartered in Burlingame, California.
