Dataplor Raises $20.5 Million in Series B Funding to Expand Global Location Data and Accelerate Product Innovation
Following the successful launch of its international mobility product, dataplor, a leading provider of global location data, has secured $20.5 million in Series B funding to further expand its global point-of-interest (POI) coverage, enhance customer solutions, and empower smarter business decisions. The round was led by F-Prime, with participation from notable investors including Spark Capital, FFVC, Acronym Venture Capital, Two Lanterns Venture Capital, APA Ventures, dara5, and Alumni Ventures.
This new infusion of capital will fuel dataplor’s rapid growth, enabling the company to scale its location intelligence products, broaden its geographic reach, and accelerate the development of innovative solutions. The funding comes on the heels of the launch of dataplor’s global mobility product, which provides monthly updated, privacy-compliant pedestrian traffic data across international markets. This offering gives businesses access to powerful insights into real-world consumer behavior, complemented by dataplor’s proprietary POI data. Together, these tools deliver the most comprehensive and privacy-preserving view of global consumer activity available today.
Bridging the Gap in Global Location Data
Accurate and dynamic location data has become a cornerstone of strategic decision-making for businesses worldwide. However, much of the existing international POI data is outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate—especially in emerging markets. This gap results in billions of dollars in lost opportunities for companies seeking to expand operations, allocate resources effectively, or understand cross-border consumer behavior.
Dataplor addresses this challenge by offering unparalleled coverage of over 350 million POIs across more than 250 countries and territories. Its customers span a wide range of industries, including technology, financial services, retail, logistics, consumer packaged goods (CPG), cartography, real estate, and more. Today, dataplor serves dozens of enterprise clients globally, including several Fortune 100 companies, integrating its data into critical geospatial, operational, and growth workflows.
The company’s data empowers global brands to make high-impact decisions. For example, it helps electric vehicle (EV) networks forecast charging demand in real time, enables insurers to model real estate risks with unprecedented geospatial precision, and assists consumer goods manufacturers in identifying distributors and expanding into underserved regions. By combining AI, machine learning, and human validation, dataplor ensures its datasets remain accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date—even in historically under-mapped areas.
A Commitment to Privacy and Compliance
Dataplor takes a privacy-first approach, ensuring that no personal data is ever used in its processes. This commitment provides enterprise customers with complete assurance regarding regulatory compliance and ethical data practices, making it a trusted partner for businesses operating in highly regulated industries.
“Companies around the world are increasingly recognizing the importance of accurate and dynamic location data to their strategy,” said Gaurav Tuli, Partner at F-Prime. “Dataplor has developed a truly unique solution that combines global reach, data quality, and compliance in a way that has never been done before. We are very excited to support the company’s next phase of growth.”
Driving Growth Through Innovation
With this latest round of funding, dataplor is poised to expand its geographic footprint, enrich its product suite, and deliver even greater value to its customers. The company’s focus on seamless integration ensures that businesses can leverage its data to drive actionable insights and achieve tangible outcomes.
“Our customers require accurate, timely, and globally compliant location data,” said Geoff Michener, Founder and CEO of dataplor. “With this new funding, we reinforce our commitment to delivering the highest quality insights while expanding our geographic coverage, enhancing our product offerings, and empowering businesses to make smarter decisions through seamless integration.”
