SafeGraph, a data-as-a-service company, has raised $45 million in Series B funding, led by Sapphire Ventures.
SafeGraph created a community of more than 7,000 data scientists who have been collaborating on geospatial projects, resulting in over 300 academic papers published featuring data from SafeGraph and coverage from data journalists at major news outlets such as USA Today, Fortune and the Washington Post.
During this time, SafeGraph doubled its year-over-year revenue while improving efficiency metrics, such as revenue per employee.
