Of the funding round, TechCrunch shared:

"Last year when we covered the company, it had mapped 34 cities in Africa. Since then, it expanded into Mexico City last November and has completed multiple data production projects in the city alongside Lima, Bangkok, Gauteng and Dhaka. Right now, the company has worked in 41 cities across 28 countries."

Forbes shared:
