Pioneering the Future of AI for Diverse and Creative Local Business Communities
Pull.City, based in Newlab at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and DUMBO, was developed in close collaboration with local businesses. Following New York’s emergence as the epicenter of a global pandemic, local enterprises united to produce PPE for hospitals, create outdoor dining solutions, and develop remote services. As Brooklynites, we helped businesses rapidly implement new technologies and processes.From there, the idea of Pull.City emerged.
Originally an initiative by Uncommon Union, Pull.City is backed by leadership with decades of expertise in software and community development.
