FATMAP

1 Sekforde St, London, United Kingdom

Overview

Fatmap develops global 3D mapping technology for outdoor adventure enthusiasts and mountain professionals. The company aims to be a global platform for skiers, hikers, trail-runners, mountain-bikers and climbers to navigate the off-road world. Its core product is 3D maps and related navigation tools for outdoor activities. Led by CEO Misha Gopaul, Fatmap intends to use newly raised funds to expand globally. The company has offices in Berlin, London and Vilnius. The article does not disclose revenue, user metrics, or other financial details. Fatmap builds high-resolution 3D maps of the outdoors, delivered primarily via an offline mobile app with terrain intelligence, expert content, and geo-enabled features for mountain sports. The company has expanded beyond Unity/3D client work to hire web, WebGL and backend developers in its Vilnius office and aims to double that local team within six months. Fatmap has launched a summer MVP covering hiking and biking and made a first 3D web map for partner 3 Valleys while developing an SDK for web. The team reports 100% monthly user growth since the app's public launch in January 2016, reaching around 120,000 users by the end of the skiing season in April. Map coverage grew from 5 resorts before 2016 to roughly 120 by the time of the article, and the company is working toward technology for global map coverage within six months and a public summer product launch in 2017. The company plans to launch its own 3D maps on the web before the end of 2016 and to continue expanding mapping coverage and navigation features.
