Geospiza offers an intuitive software platform that empowers emergency managers, first responders, and program managers with data-driven insights to improve results, ROI, reduce risk, and enhance resilience in communities of all sizes. The company plans to use the recently raised funds to enable mapping and data modeling capabilities. It will also allocate proceeds to expand its sales and customer success teams. Geospiza closed $1M in seed funding to support these efforts. Founded in 2017 and led by CEO Sarah Tuneberg, the company is a 2018 Techstars Accelerator graduate. Andy Boyd, an experienced disaster recovery industry leader, will represent shareholders on the board.
