In this week’s episode, I’m thrilled to welcome back Ariel Seidman, founder of HiveMapper. Ariel was my very first podcast guest back in 2019, and HiveMapper has come a long way since then!

We explore how HiveMapper has evolved from a drone-based mapping system to a cutting-edge platform collecting street-level data at a global scale. Ariel shares the challenges of scaling large-scale mapping efforts, the pivot to building their own hardware, and the role of blockchain-based incentives in driving adoption.

Here are just a few topics we cover:

  • Why HiveMapper shifted focus from drones to street-level mapping.
  • The power of combining hardware and software to solve mapping challenges.
  • How HiveMapper has already mapped 28% of the global road network.
  • The revolutionary edge computing and data filtering techniques driving efficiency.
  • What it takes to compete with industry giants like Google Maps.
  • Whether you're fascinated by the intersection of geospatial technology and innovation or looking for insights into scaling impactful startups, this episode is packed with value.

    Let me know your thoughts or hit reply if you’d like to discuss the episode!

    PS

    I have just finished creating a web-based tool that lets you explore and download OpenStreetMap data, It is a bit different from other tools and I would appreciate some feedback.
