Announcing Our $20.5M Series B to Expand Global Location Intelligence and Meet Growing Demand for Smarter, Compliant Data

Blog

Today marks another major step forward in dataplor’s mission to build the world’s most accurate, complete, and comprehensive source of global location intelligence. We’ve successfully closed our $20.5 million Series B funding round, led by F-Prime with participation from Spark Capital, FFVC, Acronym Venture Capital, Space Capital, Two Lanterns, APA Ventures, dara5, and Alumni Ventures.

This new round will accelerate our growth at a critical time, following the launch of our global mobility product and amid a surge in demand for location data that works globally, not just in the U.S.

While the world has become more connected, the data that powers global business hasn’t kept pace. In many international markets, location data remains difficult to access, riddled with inaccuracies, and often sourced from outdated or unverified platforms. Most providers concentrate on the U.S. and Canada, leaving major coverage gaps in high-growth and underserved regions. As a result, businesses are often forced to rely on static data that hasn’t been updated in years. The consequences? Flawed market assessments, inefficient resource allocation, and critical decisions made without a clear view of the ground.

At dataplor, we built our platform to solve this exact problem: delivering globally scaled, locally verified data that reflects the real world as it is today. As the only single-vendor solution for global location intelligence, dataplor eliminates the need to cobble together messy, inconsistent datasets, providing clean, deduped, and normalized data from one trusted source.

Scaling the Infrastructure for Smarter Global Decisions

With this new funding, we’re doubling down on what makes dataplor unique: a globally scaled and locally verified approach that blends proprietary AI, machine learning, and native-language human review to deliver dynamic, near-real-time, privacy-first location intelligence, even in the most data-scarce regions.

Our proprietary data now covers over 350 million Points of Interest (POIs) across more than 250 countries and territories, with mobility insights layered on top to show how consumers behave and move across spaces. We’ve also expanded our privacy-compliant foot traffic product internationally, giving customers fresh, actionable insights without ever exposing personally identifiable information (PII).

This funding enables us to:

  • Expand geographic coverage in under-mapped markets
  • Enhance our POI and mobility product suite
  • Support more seamless customer integrations
  • Invest in new talent and technology to further scale our infrastructure

How Our Customers Use dataplor

Our customers are global businesses solving complex challenges. They rely on dataplor to power decisions across operations, growth, and risk modeling:

  • Financial services and insurance providers use our POI data to assess property risk and exposure at the building level
  • Retail and CPG leaders tap into our intelligence to find new partners, identify white space, and guide market expansion
  • Logistics and EV infrastructure companies use our mobility data to forecast demand and optimize location strategies

And they do so with confidence, knowing our data is accurate, complete, and fully compliant with international privacy standards.

The Road Ahead

What sets dataplor apart isn’t just our tech stack, it’s our team and principles. We’ve built a system that respects privacy, scales globally, and delivers real-world business impact. We don’t track individuals. We don’t scrape data indiscriminately. Instead, we’ve created a new standard for POI and mobility intelligence, one that prioritizes ethics, quality, and transparency.

I’m deeply grateful to our investors, new and existing, for recognizing the importance of this mission. Their support helps us move faster, think bigger, and deliver more value to our customers worldwide.

And none of this would be possible without the incredible team behind dataplor. From engineers and analysts to customer success and operations, this group shows up every day with the precision, care, and curiosity needed to solve some of the hardest data challenges on the planet. I’m proud to build alongside them.

As we scale our platform, our focus remains the same: to build the most accurate, privacy-first location intelligence platform in the world. Our customers deserve better data, and the global market depends on it.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but even more excited about what’s next. If your team is navigating global growth, expansion, or risk modeling and needs location data you can trust, we’re here to help.

Let’s build the future of location intelligence together.
