🚀 We made the list (again) 🚀 As we shared earlier this week, we’re honored that GoodMaps has been named one of Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech for 2025! Being featured in the “Small and Mighty” category proves that breakthrough innovation doesn’t need a massive team – just the right one with a bold vision. Fast Company highlighted us for “helping people navigate indoors as easily as on the road” – and that’s exactly the future we’re building, one venue at a time. 🔴 The challenge: Indoor spaces like airports, malls, and museums are notoriously difficult to navigate due to poor GPS signals, static maps, and general inaccessibility. 🟢 Our solution: An AI-powered platform that delivers customizable guidance for every visitor. 📈 The impact: Major airports such as Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and BNA (Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority) , along with cultural landmarks like DC’s MLK Library (DC Public Library Foundation) and Ohio’s Armstrong Air & Space Museum, now offer visitors the seamless indoor navigation experience they deserve – and often need. Why this matters: 🗺️ We’re turning indoor navigation from frustrating to effortless 🌍 Major venues worldwide trust our technology 👥 Proof that small teams can drive big industry change This recognition fuels our mission to keep pushing boundaries and make every indoor space truly accessible. Huge thanks to Fast Company for the spotlight – and to our incredible team for making it happen! What indoor space would you most like to see with better navigation? Tell us below! 👇
