You don't really know about location data. You don't really know about geospatial. You don't really know how to unlock its power. For founders, knowledge of the places and spaces around us helps us to personalise user journeys, understand and influence behaviour, track service delivery in real time, market with precision at specific sites, protect the planet through conservation, biodiversity planning and so much more. Here are a few of the startups doing novel things with location data: Safest Way guide users from A to B through the most well lit routes. Limmi restrict access to social media apps - I use it to stop doomscrolling LinkedIn at my desk. Gryd Energy offer smart subscriptions for solar power to homeowners and developers. Kestrix quantify heat loss in buildings for better retrofitting. The list goes on! I'll share more in future posts. In the meantime, if you're interested in learning more about Geovation and how we can help you use location data in your startup, connect with me on LinkedIn.
