Interview with Eric Gundersen
summary
Mapbox is a platform for designing custom maps that combines OpenStreetMap base data (about 25 million miles mapped) with user data and design controls so organizations can highlight specific features, colors and fonts. It starts from NGO work—malaria mapping, Afghanistan election feeds—and is now a bootstrapped company of ~80 that serves 5,000 paying customers, ingests drone and microsatellite imagery, and renders fast, near‑real‑time map updates.
