At Unfolded, our goal has always been to bring the most advanced geospatial technologies to the world. By joining Foursquare, we can now make that vision a reality.
As founders of Unfolded, we (Sina Kashuk, Shan He, Ib Green and Isaac Brodsky) first met back in 2015 when we were creating what has now become a suite of leading open source geospatial technologies – kepler.gl, deck.gl and H3. Eventually we realized that by bringing these technologies together, we could build a new kind of geospatial analytics platform that would be as powerful as it is beautiful.
Geospatial intelligence has the potential to fundamentally transform how we understand our world and do business, but geospatial datasets can be hard to analyze without expensive software or extensive coding skills. Good geospatial data is also hard to come by.
Just as we once came together around geospatial technologies to launch Unfolded, we have again recognized a huge opportunity in joining forces – this time, with Foursquare. By fueling our technology with one of the most comprehensive location and POI data providers in the world, we will be able to offer entirely new integrated solutions that combine the best of Unfolded and Foursquare.
Unfolded will still be known as Unfolded. But now, with the resources and support of Foursquare, our engineering roadmap can be that much more ambitious. Rest assured there will be no service interruptions. Access to our team and platform will remain absolutely unchanged as we continue to deliver new features and tools to enhance your workflows.
In keeping with our start as builders of open source technologies and communities, we remain committed to growing and fostering Unfolded’s community of geospatial experts and enthusiasts.
