I reconnected with Ian Wagner and Luke Seelenbinder, co-founders of Stadia Maps, to dive deep into the intricacies of geospatial technology and the transformative power of location-based services. We initially met in Tallinn, Estonia—a digital innovation hub—the actual conversation unfolds months later in a remote setting, breaking geographical barriers.
Ian and Luke recount their entrepreneurial journey as American expats who have leveraged Estonia's e-Residency program to work remotely from Switzerland and South Korea. They shed light on how Estonia's progressive digital ecosystem has been a catalyst in the evolution of Stadia Maps, offering an in-depth look into the advantages of e-Residency, including data privacy and global compliance.
The dialogue then transitions to the core of Stadia Maps' operation: a robust, partnership-centric approach to business. Ian and Luke outline their strategy, which goes beyond traditional vendor-client relationships to build long-term collaborations. They spotlight their work with Stamen Design and their commitment to integrating both open and proprietary data to offer a comprehensive suite of mapping services.
Yet, the narrative extends beyond the geospatial. The co-founders share their future plans, which include incorporating emerging technologies like augmented reality and enhancing their customer support to world-class standards.
