About
Hivemapper operates a decentralized network of contributors that collect and provide real-time street-level mapping data and applications using drone technology. The platform incentivizes participants to collect imagery and verify mapping outputs through a token-based reward system, where data usage requires token redemption with a portion permanently removed from circulation. This crowdsourced approach to geospatial data collection enables the creation of fresh, high-resolution 3D maps that leverage drone-based analytics for various commercial and enterprise purposes. The network model differentiates from traditional mapping services by distributing data collection across a global community of contributors rather than relying on centralized fleet operations. The company technology spans drone software for application-specific data analytics and 3D mapping, as well as camera-based crowdsourcing for geographic information systems. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Hivemapper has raised $23 million in Series B funding from investors including Multicoin Capital, Solana Ventures, Craft Ventures, Spark Capital, Google Ventures, Homebrew, Founder Collective, Harrison Metal, and Shine Capital.
