SimpleGeo, which has increased its staff from four to 25 since January and raised $8.14 million in a Series A in May, offers a suite of sophisticated geo-data products for purchase. The service targets individual developers and businesses who want to immediately build or enhance location-based applications in minutes.
Among its employees are former Digg staffers Joe Stump (previously lead architect of Digg), designer Jeffrey Kalmikoff, engineers Ian Eure and Paul Lathrop, and product ambassador Nicole Williams.
SimpleGeo's current CEO, Matt Galligan, will serve as the startup's Chief Strategy Officer moving forward, he announced in a blog post.
