Metropolis Technologies

Another exciting day for our team -- Metropolis Technologies was named to the CNBC Disruptor 50 list for the second consecutive year. When we made this list last year, the world was looking at our ambition. This year, they're looking at our execution (and with 26M+ members, have probably experienced it themselves). This is further validation that we're on the right path. We didn't disrupt an industry. We built one from the ground up. Congratulations - and thank you to all of our Metropolites. https://lnkd.in/e6XWqiW8

Being a disruptor means our mandate is to upend the norm. For the second year running, Metropolis has been named to CNBC’s Disruptor 50 list at number 13, alongside enterprise tech and AI companies rewriting the rules of industry. We share this recognition with our Metropolis team and all of our Partners. Let's keep pushing. https://lnkd.in/gEACy__H

With the 2026 National Football League (NFL) schedule now released, fans are already planning the moments that make football season special. Metropolis is proud to support game day parking, mobility, and venue operations for NFL teams across the country, helping create a more organized arrival and departure experience before and after kickoff. For the 2026 season, our NFL partnerships include: Chicago Bears Los Angeles Chargers Washington Commanders Philadelphia Eagles Atlanta Falcons New York Football Giants New York Jets Los Angeles Rams Baltimore Ravens Our role is simple: build the teams, plans, and technology that help fans get to the game, get home safely, and focus on the experience they came for.

Co-founder & Chief Integration Officer Courtney Fukuda returned to Web Summit for the second year — one of the world’s largest tech gatherings with 20,000+ attendees and a global stage for industry-defining conversations. Metropolis hit the stage twice in Vancouver: First, on Center Stage’s “How to Win in AI,” where Courtney joined a founder panel in a packed arena with a conversation focused on building durable, AI-first companies. Later, she led the Marketing Summit session “Hyperscaling a Brand,” on scaling from startup to category leader without losing mission or identity. Drawing on rapid growth, major acquisitions, and her work as Chief Integration Officer, she delivered actionable lessons for growth and resilience. These sessions highlighted the practical impact Metropolis Technologies is delivering across applied AI in the real world and we're proud to be among the industry-shaping conversations at Web Summit.

Metropolis is creating AI for the real world — turning static infrastructure into smart, responsive environments. To fuel our record-breaking expansion, we’re looking for a Senior Counsel to support our Growth and Operations teams. This isn't your typical legal role. At Metropolis, we don’t just build AI; we use it. Our Legal team is on the cutting edge, leveraging AI in our day-to-day workflows to move faster, work smarter and erase the friction of traditional legal practice. You’ll be a strategic partner at the intersection of high-growth tech and real-world execution. Whether we’re scaling our computer vision platform or launching in new markets, you’ll be the engine ensuring our progress is as seamless and magical as our Member experience. If you’re a tech-forward attorney with a bias for action and a passion for innovation, we want to hear from you. https://lnkd.in/eCH-mX7h

I am thrilled to share that Metropolis has been named to the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list for 2026 in the Disruptors category. To be recognized alongside pioneers like Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX is a significant honor. Deploying an "intelligence layer for the physical world" is about more than just advanced technology; it requires operational excellence across thousands of locations to support millions of daily consumer interactions. This recognition belongs to our 23,000+ Metropolites across 300+ markets who work tirelessly to solve real-world problems with AI. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to our capital partners, who believed in the Metropolis vision when it was just a concept and helped us scale into the global operating company we are today, including Eldridge Capital Management, LionTree Growth Equity, 3L Capital, Assembly Ventures, Vista Credit, BDT & MSD, Up.Partners, SLW, Fin Capital, Slow Ventures, Zigg Capital, Halogen Ventures, Zero Infinity Partners and Dragoneer amongst many others! A huge thank you to the NYSE for the shout-out today as well. We are just getting started! Alex Israel Courtney Fukuda Peter Fisher

Metropolis is honored to be named a TIME100 Most Influential Company of 2026. We’re pioneering AI that turns the physical world into something responsive, personal and, yes, magical — from parking and fueling to hospitality and beyond. This acknowledgement means everything to our team because it reflects what our Members and Partners make possible every day. Millions of people have chosen a world with less friction and more personalization. That’s the Recognition Economy, and this is proof it’s working. To our 25 million Members who trust us with their time, and to every Partner who trusts us with their business: thank you, we built this for you. Being recognized as one of the world’s most influential businesses of the year is motivating, humbling and inspiring. We’re just getting started.

As an entrepreneur, I’m inspired by builders. Today, I spoke at Stripe's SaaS Platform Leaders Summit with Emily Glassberg Sands and Danielle Cohen-Shohet — a reminder that the best ideas come from innovators who challenge the status quo. We dug into what’s no longer hypothetical: AI is not just an add-on to commerce and SaaS — it’s recasting the business model itself. From agentic commerce that autonomously creates value for customers, to the realities of how operators implement AI products, the leap is strategic, not merely technical. At Metropolis, that strategy looks like designing AI-native infrastructure from day one — not retrofitting features, but reimagining the customer journey end to end. It was always our goal to build a product that stands the test of time. The result isn’t incremental improvement - it's the Recognition Economy, product experiences that scale for our Members in ways legacy architectures simply can’t match. Thank you to the team at Stripe - particularly John Collison and Patrick Collison for the invitation and for creating spaces for these conversations.

Thanks Turner Novak for the conversation about how applied AI plus operating scale modernized an old, ubiquitous industry—parking—and how we plan to exapnd seamless, recognition-driven experience to the real world. As Metropolis Technologies co-founder and CEO Alex Israel explains, we’re focused right now on delivering clear consumer value, combining technology with real-world distribution, and building the infrastructure that enables capital markets to reward simple, compelling narratives.
