About the Company
At Foursquare we believe the world is full of amazing experiences. We make two apps to help guide you to them: Foursquare and Swarm. Everyone`s tastes are different so why should we get the same search results? Foursquare learns what you like and leads you to places you`ll love. Find great recommendations based on your tastes, your ratings for similar places, and the friends and experts you trust most. We`ve reinvented local search, to help you find the perfect place, wherever you are. In 2009, Foursquare launched the check-in and real-time location sharing with friends. Five years later, we decided to give the check-in its own app. Swarm is the fastest and easiest way to keep up and meet up with friends. We`re proud to be funded by Union Square Ventures, O`Reilly AlphaTech Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Spark Capital, DFJ Growth, SMALLCAP World Fund, Silver Lake Waterman, Microsoft, and and a handful of angel investors.
