What Streetwyze does

Streetwyze is a private, for-profit community intelligence company headquartered in Oakland, California (1330 Broadway Suite 300), operating with 11-50 employees and co-founded/led by CEO Antwi Akom. Its core offering is a mobile, mapping, and SMS platform that collects crowd-sourced local knowledge (text, photo, audio, and video reports pinned to interactive maps) and converts it into actionable geospatial analytics via its proprietary SWAG (Streetwyze Geospatial Analysis) methodology. The company serves four primary buyer segments through a suite of four Wyze sub-platforms: PeopleWyze (consumer-facing app for individuals and community members), CommunityWyze (cities, towns, and public agencies), HealthWyze (healthcare providers and systems, with three portals covering patient, provider, and community wisdom), and BusinessWyze (local businesses and word-of-mouth businesses). Additional products include the Opportunity 360 Dashboard (built with Enterprise Community Partners to rank neighborhoods on opportunity metrics) and Give 4 Good (a charitable donation tool).

Underlying technology combines mobile, mapping, and SMS delivery with people-sensing data collection, real-time geospatial analysis, two-way feedback loops, and integration with external systems such as EHR records, Google Street View air-quality data (via Aclima), and foundation/agency dashboards. Business model is project-based professional services: Streetwyze engages with foundations (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, California Endowment, Kresge, Stupski, Tara Health), municipal governments (Oakland DOT, City of Memphis, Berkeley, San Francisco, First Five Alameda), healthcare systems (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Health Leads, Roots Community Health), and nonprofits (Enterprise Community Partners, PolicyLink, Ironbound Community Corporation, Tenderloin Housing Clinic) to deliver community-driven research, planning, and engagement projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts appear to be negotiated per-project or per-grant. Streetwyze has received recognition from the White House, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (Pioneer Award), Rockefeller Foundation, Knight News Challenge, Harvard Data Smart Cities Initiative, and peer-reviewed journals (Environmental Science & Technology, Tobacco Control), and reports over 5 million participants and projects yielding $5B+ in social/economic impact metrics across initiatives.
