What Sitenna does

Modern infrastructure (incl. 5G wireless and EV charging) has a problem. Whilst analysts are claiming exponential growth in deployments in the coming years, the truth is that the process of site acquisition and management is currently manual, archaic and painful. Sitenna has developed software to digitise the process reducing site acquisition from currently 24 months to a matter of weeks. We work with Real Estate, Local Government, Infrastructure Providers and Operators. Sitenna launched in the UK in late 2021 and was selected as the leading software vendor to a UK government sponsored infrastructure project, with over 1m assets on the platform and all major telecom players active, including BT, EE and BAI. The team is led by a group of industry veterans with C-Suite level access to telecom companies worldwide. Daniel has worked in the telecoms industry for over 12 years and he has supported $100bn in transactions in over 30 countries. Brian has over 12 years’ experience as a technical consultant including BAE Systems Applied Intelligence, Norkom and Ericsson. Both are multiple time founders, execs and non-execs in start-ups including exits.

Compound B2B SaaS for infrastructure site management

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built software that digitizes the process of acquiring and managing sites for modern infrastructure like 5G wireless and EV charging. Our product reduces timelines from 24 months to weeks by automating workflows and centralizing information for real estate teams, local governments, infrastructure providers, and network operators.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in Atlanta, GA, with remote team members. Post-YC, we plan to remain distributed but maintain a strong presence in Atlanta.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Atlanta offers a good talent pool and cost advantages. Our team is already here or remote, so it's a natural home base. YC would help us connect to Silicon Valley and broader markets without forcing a move.
