Nearmap

Nearmap is a location intelligence company that captures, processes and delivers high-resolution aerial imagery and geospatial data, helping businesses and governments understand what is happening on the ground and how it changes over time. Founded in 2007 in Perth, Australia, the company has been capturing the world from above for more than fifteen years.

The company is vertically integrated: it designs and owns its proprietary camera systems, runs its own image-processing pipelines and delivers the results through software platforms. Its Location Intelligence Platform combines high-resolution aerial photos, 3D modelling and AI-driven predictions, allowing customers to assess roof conditions, monitor vegetation growth and respond to natural disasters. Imagery is captured and delivered several times a year.

Coverage spans urban areas across the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Customers operate in insurance, government and the public sector, engineering, utilities and infrastructure, disaster response and emergency management, and vegetation and environmental management. Technical work spans aerial imagery capture, proprietary camera systems, 3D modelling, machine-learning predictions, image-processing pipelines and geospatial analytics.

The company describes its mission as being customers' source of truth for understanding change on the ground, and has grown from a small startup in Perth into a business that builds and owns its capture, processing and delivery technology end to end.
