Dataplor Raises $20.5M in Series B Funding to Revolutionize Global Location Intelligence and Fuel Product Expansion
In a significant step toward redefining how businesses leverage location data, dataplor, a leading provider of global location intelligence, has announced the successful close of a $20.5 million Series B funding round. The investment was led by F-Prime, with participation from notable venture capital firms including Spark Capital, FFVC, Acronym Venture Capital, Two Lanterns Venture Capital, APA Ventures, dara5, and Alumni Ventures. This new funding comes on the heels of dataplor’s recent launch of its global mobility product, which delivers monthly refreshed, privacy-compliant foot traffic data across international markets. With this infusion of capital, dataplor is poised to scale its global Point of Interest (POI) coverage, enhance customer solutions, and empower smarter, data-driven business decisions.
Bridging the Gap in Global Location Data
Accurate and dynamic location data has become a cornerstone for businesses seeking to make informed strategic decisions. However, much of the available international POI data remains outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate—especially in emerging markets. This gap creates billions of dollars in missed opportunities for companies looking to expand operations, allocate resources effectively, or understand consumer behavior across borders.
dataplor addresses this challenge by providing comprehensive, high-quality location intelligence that covers over 350 million POIs in more than 250 countries and territories. Its proprietary datasets serve customers across a wide range of industries, including technology, financial services, retail, logistics, consumer packaged goods (CPG), mapping, real estate, and more. Today, dataplor supports dozens of enterprise clients globally, including multiple Fortune 100 companies, embedding its data into critical workflows for geospatial analysis, operational efficiency, and growth strategies.
“Businesses around the world are realizing how critical accurate, dynamic location data is to their strategy,” said Gaurav Tuli, Partner at F-Prime. “dataplor has built a truly differentiated solution that combines global scale, data quality, and compliance in a way we haven’t seen before. We’re thrilled to support their next phase of growth.”
Unlocking Real-World Insights Through Innovation
The combination of AI, machine learning, and human validation ensures that dataplor’s datasets remain accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date—even in historically under-mapped regions. This technological edge allows global brands to unlock powerful insights that drive high-impact decisions. For example:
- EV Networks: Predicting real-time demand for electric vehicle charging stations.
- Insurance Providers: Modeling property risks with unmatched geospatial precision.
- CPG Leaders: Identifying distributors and expanding into underserved regions.
By integrating its proprietary POI data with its newly launched global mobility product, dataplor now offers businesses an unparalleled view of real-world consumer behavior on a global scale. This holistic approach enables organizations to not only understand where consumers are but also how they move and interact with physical spaces over time.
A Privacy-First Commitment
As regulatory scrutiny around data usage intensifies, dataplor stands out for its unwavering commitment to privacy and compliance. The company ensures that no personally identifiable information (PII) is ever used in its datasets, giving enterprise clients full confidence in adhering to ethical data practices and meeting stringent regulatory requirements.
“Our customers demand accurate, fresh, and globally compliant location data,” said Geoff Michener, Founder and CEO of dataplor. “With this new funding, we’re doubling down on our commitment to deliver the highest quality insights while expanding our geographic coverage, enriching our product suite, and driving real business impact through seamless customer integration.”
Scaling for the Future
The $20.5 million Series B funding will be instrumental in accelerating dataplor’s growth trajectory. Key areas of focus include:
- Expanding Geographic Coverage: Increasing the depth and breadth of POI data in emerging markets to ensure businesses have access to reliable intelligence wherever they operate.
