dataplor Raises $20.5M Series B to Scale Global Location Intelligence and Accelerate Product Growth
Article content Following the recent international mobility product launch, dataplor continues rapid growth with new funding to scale global POI coverage, enhance customer solutions, and power smarter business decisions. Article content Article content MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — dataplor, a leading provider of global location intelligence, today announced the close of a $20.5 million Series B funding round, led by F-Prime, with participation from Spark Capital, FFVC, Acronym Venture Capital, Two Lanterns Venture Capital, APA Ventures, dara5, and Alumni Ventures. The new investment will accelerate dataplor's growth, expand its product offerings, and scale its global location intelligence products. This funding comes on the heels of dataplor's global mobility product launch, which delivers monthly refreshed, privacy-compliant foot traffic data across international markets—unlocking powerful new insights for customers. Combined with its proprietary Point of Interest (POI) data, dataplor now offers businesses the most comprehensive and privacy-forward view of real-world consumer behavior on a global scale. Article content '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.' Article content Businesses rely on precise, dynamic location data to make strategic decisions—yet much of the available international POI data is outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate, particularly in emerging markets. This gap creates billions of dollars in missed opportunities for companies trying to expand, allocate resources, or understand consumer behavior across borders. dataplor's location intelligence fills this void, covering over 350 million POIs in more than 250 countries and territories, serving customers in technology, financial services, retail, logistics, consumer packaged goods (CPG), mapping, real estate, and more. Today, dataplor supports dozens of enterprise customers globally, including multiple Fortune 100 companies, embedding its data into critical workflows across geospatial, operations, and growth teams. Article content Its data powers high-impact decisions for global brands—from helping EV networks predict charger demand in real time to enabling insurers to model property risk with unmatched geospatial precision to empowering CPG leaders to identify distributors and grow in under-mapped regions. By combining AI, machine learning, and human validation, dataplor ensures its datasets remain accurate, comprehensive, and current—even in historically under-mapped regions. Article content With a privacy-first approach, dataplor ensures no personally identifiable information (PII) is ever used. This provides enterprise clients with full confidence in regulatory compliance and ethical data practices. Article content '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.' Article content dataplor is a leading provider of point-of-interest (POI) and mobility data that helps global enterprises grow abroad by mapping tough-to-reach markets with a privacy-first approach. As the majority of international location data is often inaccurate and quickly outdated, dataplor goes several steps beyond the industry standard, helping the world's largest companies across technology, mapping, search, third-party logistics, consumer packaged goods (CPG), telecom, investing, real estate, and finance understand location intelligence about any commercial or physical location in real-time, fueling their expansion abroad.

North American stock markets start flat as investors await trade negotiations
Wall Street's main indexes opened mixed on Tuesday as investors awaited possible negotiations between the United States and its trading partners for more clarity on the tariff war that has roiled financial markets for months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened flat at 42,304.5. The S&P 500 rose 2.6 points, or 0.04 per cent, at the open to 5,938.56, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 46.0 points, or 0.24 per cent, to 19,288.659 at the opening bell. Canada's main stock index opened narrowly lower, led by losses in metal miners' shares. At 9:31 a.m. ET, the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 0.13 per cent at 26,353.48 points. U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are set to speak this week, the White House said on Monday, days after Trump accused China of violating an agreement to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions. Meanwhile, the Trump administration wants countries to provide their best offer on trade negotiations by Wednesday as officials seek to accelerate talks with multiple partners ahead of a self-imposed deadline in just five weeks, according to a draft letter to negotiating partners seen by Reuters. Mr. Trump said last week he planned to double tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to 50 per cent starting on Wednesday, fueling fresh concerns among investors and pulling back global stocks as they approached record highs. In May, however, a softening of Mr. Trump's harsh trade stance allowed a recovery in risky assets, with the benchmark S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq posting their biggest monthly percentage gain since November 2023. The S&P 500 remains less than 4 per cent away from its record peak touched in February. 'The markets are still trading with a decent level of uncertainty because they're not sure how everything's going to turn out,' said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Northlight Asset Management. 'Having a best and final offer deadline and a framework to move forward should be positive for the markets.' The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development lowered its 2025 global growth forecast to 2.9 per cent from 3.1 per cent expected earlier, citing the effects of Mr. Trump's trade war on the U.S. economy. Deutsche Bank, however, raised its year-end target for the S&P 500 to 6,550 from 6,150, citing lower tariff-related pressure on earnings and a resilient economy. April factory orders and JOLTS job openings data are scheduled for release at 10:00 a.m. ET. U.S. central bank officials including Fed Board Governor Lisa Cook, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee and Dallas President Lorie Logan are due to speak through the day. Later in the week, monthly jobs data may offer more signs on how trade uncertainty is affecting the world's biggest economy. Markets in China advanced despite a report showing manufacturing activity slowed in May, even after China and the U.S. paused tariff hikes to allow time for talks. The survey of Chinese purchasing managers, or PMI, by the financial media group Caixin showed factory output, new export orders, purchasing activity and staffing all declined last month. Incoming new work contracted at the quickest pace in over two-and-a-half years. the report said. The situation is 'a body blow to the backbone of China's economy: small and mid-sized exporters now caught in a brutal vice grip between faltering global demand and a Washington-led tariff regime that's more carrot-and-stick diplomacy than ceasefire,' Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. However, as is often the case, investors shrugged off the bad news with the assumption that it might raise the likelihood of more market support from Beijing. Hong Kong's Hang Seng jumped 1.5 per cent to 23,512.49, while the Shanghai Composite index rose 0.4 per cent to 3,361.98. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 edged 0.1 per cent lower to 37,446.81. South Korean markets were closed for a snap presidential election triggered by the ouster of Yoon Suk Yeol, a conservative who now faces an explosive trial on rebellion charges over his short-lived imposition of martial law in December. In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 climbed 0.6 per cent to 8,466.70. In Taiwan, the Taiex gained 0.6 per cent, while India's Sensex lost 0.5 per cent. In midday European trading, Germany's DAX was unchanged, while the CAC 40 in Paris shed 0.3 per cent and Britain's FTSE 100 slipped 0.1 per cent. U.S. benchmark crude oil was up 36 cents at US$62.88 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, picked up 33 US cents to US$64.96 per barrel. The U.S. dollar rose to 143.10 Japanese yen from 142.71 yen. The euro slipped to $1.1391 from $1.1443. The Associated Press
