This week Ed speaks with Ilya Zverev, the man behind the new OpenStreetMap editor Every Door. Ilya is passionate about micro mapping, and argues there is a need for a tool like his but ultimately the time he spends on editing is as much a need as it is enjoyable. This is not his first OSM tool, and this is not the only editor out there, so what’s unique about Every Door?

Steven wonders if there really is a benefit for startups in the geospatial industry receiving help from accelerator programs such as the one Geovation provides. As Carly explains, the data speaks for itself, 76% of the startups that have worked with Geovation are still

This week's guest is Will Martin, long-time start-up investor, and co-founder of Portfolio Ventures. Will has invested in many different early-stage start-ups across the entire tech landscape, including some businesses with a geo focus. While not specifically focused just on geo, we thought Will's conversaton with Steven would be an interesting and relevant reference to help demystify the early stage investment process.
