Betterview looks at properties from above, using aerial imagery and machine learning to provide actionable insight for underwriters. Betterview's industry leading product goes beyond a simple commodity data provider of aerially gathered attributes and provides a true workflow platform for its clients.
Betterview was formed as a drone workflow company, focused on sending operators out to properties to take imagery and combine that imagery into cohesive reporting for clients. In 2018, Betterview pivoted to providing a higher volume product for clients by looking at aerial imagery with machine learning. By providing tools to streamline underwriting processes, Betterview was able to lower its price point and margins by an order of magnitude.
Since its pivot, Betterview has become a leader in the property insight from geospatial data segment. Betterview was formed by David Lyman and David Tobias who believed providing actionable insight into properties virtually was a great problem to solve.
Betterview is based in San Francisco but has a product office in San Diego. Though we are all remote, during the pandemic, we look forward to a time when we can collaborate, in person again. For the folks we have working remote, our centers of gravity are Manhattan and Chicago.
