Our story

Built by Houstonians,
for Houstonians

Walk With Me Houston is the first navigation app purpose-built for the 6.5-mile underground tunnel network beneath downtown Houston. We're on a mission to make the tunnels accessible, discoverable, and useful for everyone.

The problem we're solving

95 blocks. Zero navigation.

Houston's Downtown Tunnel System is one of the largest underground pedestrian networks in the world — 6.5 miles of climate-controlled corridors connecting 95 city blocks. It's used by over 100,000 commuters, convention attendees, and visitors every day.

And yet, there has never been a dedicated navigation app for it. No turn-by-turn directions. No searchable business directory. No real-time closure alerts. Just a confusing maze that even longtime Houstonians get lost in.

We spent 18 months walking every corridor, mapping every entry point, and documenting every business. Walk With Me Houston is the result — a navigation app that finally makes the tunnels make sense.
