summary

Company reports over 10 million users and over a billion check‑ins, 80 employees with about a third ex‑Google and a data team of four. A new Foursquare Radar feature runs background sniffing and time‑aware swarming alerts (friends counts, spikes) and is toggled from the app’s upper‑left icon. Half a million merchants use self‑serve claim tools but no merchant revenue yet. Teams split NYC/SF with video portals for remote coordination.
