About

Blissway provides next-generation roadside tolling infrastructure that can be deployed in weeks and at zero upfront cost to government agencies. The company flips the traditional tolling industry ratio by eschewing expensive gantries and windshield transponders for small, brainy devices at the side of the road called Wireless Autonomous Lane Enforcers (WAL-Es), combined with large-scale cloud data analytics. Their technology upgrades physical roads into digital infrastructure through a wireless, solar-powered vision layer for next-gen traffic management and safety. Founded by Stanford graduates Felipe Kettlun and Francisco Torrealba in 2019, Blissway builds intelligent roadside technology that identifies, tracks, and classifies every vehicle on the road. Their system guarantees performance at or better than existing roadside toll collection systems while dramatically improving highway safety. The company operates as multiple startups in one - combining Deep Tech, AI/ML, Hardware, SaaS, and IoT. Based in Denver, CO, Blissway is backed by Y Combinator and has built a nearly insurmountable technological lead in an industry that is quietly bigger than football.
