Fifteen years ago, Foursquare aimed to connect people in our community to friends and interesting venues nearby. Consumers and businesses alike latched on to the novel concept of an app that could connect the engagement of real-world places to human movement through a gamified interface – thus, Foursquare exploded and the word “check-in” took on an all-new meaning.
Today, we stand tall as pioneers, leading the way in redefining geospatial technology. From our Movement & Places engines, to Hex Tiles, to everyone’s favorite Graph technology, we have created some game changing innovations. Doubling down on our rich history of pioneering advancements to derive real-time intelligence about the world, Foursquare is reinventing the wheel once again, as we build the world’s very first geospatial platform for developers, marketers, and data scientists. We are making good on a promise to democratize the potential of location not only for ourselves but for our customers.
Here’s to more tech wonders, more breakthroughs, and more celebrations in the years to come. Cheers to 15 years of Foursquare!
