dataplor, a leading provider of global location intelligence, announced a $10.6 million Series A funding round led by Spark Capital. This round, which included participation from Quest Venture Partners, Acronym Venture Capital, Circadian Ventures, Two Lanterns Venture Partners, and APA Venture Partners, will drive dataplor’s ongoing expansion, building the most accurate, comprehensive, and dynamically updated database of global Point of Interest (POI) data.
dataplor currently offers data coverage across over 200 countries and territories, encompassing over 300 million locations and over 15,000 brands. Companies in technology, mapping, search, third-party logistics, consumer packaged goods (CPG), telecom, investing, real estate, and finance depend on dataplor’s global, accurate coverage to power strategic decisions and investments. Through this latest funding, dataplor is positioned to expand its worldwide coverage and build its team.
dataplor’s approach merges technologies, including AI/ML, LLMs, and a purpose-built technology platform, with a global team of expert human validators. This combination allows the company to gather accurate, deduplicated, and verified location data while providing a framework for regular information updates to stay current.
Along with receiving accurate, updated, and global POI data coverage, dataplor’s customers also benefit from the company’s commitment to privacy. All of the information in dataplor’s datasets is gathered via direct contact with a business or through publicly available data and no personally identifiable information (PII) is used.
Spark Capital general partner Alex Finkelstein will join dataplor’s board of directors, which includes John Frankel, founding partner of ffVC.
