Based in Newlab at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and shaped through close collaboration with local businesses, Pull City emerged from real work on the ground in New York. As businesses adapted during the pandemic, we saw the need for better systems to organize local knowledge, support visibility, and strengthen participation. Pull City builds on that experience, combining software and community development expertise to help placemakers manage and activate places through community intelligence. Read about our leadership:
