Mappedin Raises $24.5M Series B to Bring Indoor Mapping to City Scale

Waterloo, Canada–based Mappedin has raised $24.5 million in Series B funding, led by Edison Partners with participation from Betatron Venture Group, as it expands its effort to map indoor spaces at a global, city-wide scale.

The new capital marks a turning point for the company. While Mappedin has already built a strong presence mapping individual venues, the focus now shifts toward connecting entire buildings and eventually cities through a unified indoor mapping infrastructure. The company is also opening its platform to safety organizations and partners building solutions on top of its technology.

The Missing Layer of Digital Infrastructure

Outdoor navigation has become second nature. Roads, traffic, and weather are seamlessly integrated into digital maps that power everything from logistics to daily commuting.

Step inside, and that layer disappears.

Mappedin is working to change that by creating a persistent digital layer for indoor environments. Its platform converts floor plans into interactive, continuously updated 3D maps using AI and LiDAR-based spatial capture. These maps are not just visual tools. They function as a real-time operational layer for navigation, facility management, and security coordination across complex environments.

Despite mapping more than 10 billion square feet across 86 countries, the company is still addressing a massive gap. The overwhelming majority of indoor spaces globally remain unmapped and disconnected from modern digital systems.

From Wayfinding to Operational Intelligence

Mappedin initially gained traction by solving a practical problem. It helped people navigate large, complex venues like shopping malls, airports, and stadiums.

The platform has since evolved into something broader.

Organizations are now using these digital maps as a centralized system for operational intelligence. This includes managing assets, monitoring activity within buildings, and coordinating responses during emergencies. In high-pressure situations, having real-time visibility into indoor environments can significantly improve response times and decision-making.

This broader utility has helped drive adoption among major properties, including large retail centers, transportation hubs, and sports venues.

Scaling From Buildings to Cities

The Series B funding will accelerate Mappedin’s transition from mapping individual buildings to enabling city-scale indoor mapping.

At this level, indoor maps begin to function as shared infrastructure. Multiple stakeholders, from property managers to public safety officials, can operate on the same spatial layer while accessing consistent, real-time data about what is happening inside buildings.

The long-term vision is clear. Create an indoor equivalent of GPS-powered mapping, where spaces are not only digitized but interconnected, enabling entirely new applications and services.

Opening the Platform to Safety and Partners

A key part of this next phase is expanding access.

Mappedin is opening its platform to safety organizations and external partners, allowing third-party developers to build on top of its mapping infrastructure. This could include emergency response systems, analytics tools, or customer-facing applications designed to enhance experiences inside large venues.

As indoor environments become more digitized, the ability to layer multiple systems onto a shared spatial foundation could prove critical, not just for convenience but for safety and operational efficiency.

Mapping the Remaining 99%

Despite mapping billions of square feet, Mappedin is still operating in a space where most indoor environments remain largely unstructured and disconnected from digital systems.

As this type of technology matures, the implications extend far beyond navigation. A standardized digital layer for indoor spaces could reshape how buildings are designed, managed, and experienced. Real-time spatial awareness inside complex environments opens the door to more responsive safety systems, improved operational efficiency, and deeper insights into how people interact with physical spaces.

Over time, indoor mapping could become a foundational component of smart cities, linking buildings into broader urban systems in the same way GPS connects roads today. That shift would not only change how people move through spaces but also how organizations monitor, optimize, and respond to activity within them.
