"With over $50 million invested in completing our indoor mapping platform, it is time to accelerate our sales and marketing efforts," said Josh Marti, CEO and co-founder of Point Inside. "Our mapping platform allows venue owners from malls, warehouses, hospitals, arenas, corporate campuses and airports to purchase and deploy our interactive maps to their web sites or apps in less than an hour."

"Our customers need indoor maps to create context for IoT data," said Mr. Marti. "Everybody is looking for an easy way to generate and extract the spatial intelligence naturally occurring in these venues as an input into artificial intelligence applications."

The Company's newly released IndoorData.io solution identifies and tags the intersection of device location records with indoor points of interest. The fresh capital will be used to accelerate sales and marketing of the IndoorData.io solution to retail, travel and technology enterprise companies interested in OEM'ing the Point Inside platform. For instance, real estate executives can leverage the spatial intelligence from 1250 mall maps to machine learn if a potential store location in the mall will outperform or underperform existing stores in the portfolio based on its relationship to category peers, parking, entrances or proximity to popular stores like Apple, Tesla or Nordstrom.

"Point Inside has a unique, accurate and high fidelity spatial platform that can be used for data enrichment and sold widely into the location based data market," said chairman and co-founder Jon Croy. "Vestech Partners' follow-on investment will enable Point Inside to reach these incredibly rich markets by extending indoor data processing to help so our customers and their clients achieve more from their existing offerings." Last month's publishing by Grand View Research reported the global indoor LBS market size is expected to reach USD 18.74 billion by 2025, rising at a CAGR of 37.8% during the forecast period.
