The world runs on location.
We make it queryable.

BigGeo is The Spatial Cloud — the infrastructure that lets any team store, query, and act on spatial data at any scale, without the overhead of traditional GIS engineering.

Spatial data shouldn't require a
PhD to use.

For too long, working with location data meant expensive GIS teams, bespoke infrastructure, and six-month integration timelines. We built BigGeo to change that.

Our platform gives any developer, analyst, or operator direct access to the world's spatial data — through a single credit economy, a clean API, and a marketplace of ready-to-query datasets. No specialist required.

We help companies manage and access the world's spatial data — any size, any slice, any insight — delivered in seconds.

How We Work

Built on principles, not buzzwords.

Innovation
We constantly explore new ways to advance geospatial data management — embracing change and continuous improvement as a default, not a project.
handshake
Collaboration
Open communication, teamwork, and partnerships. We believe the best solutions come from shared knowledge and genuinely diverse perspectives.
shield
Integrity
The highest standards of ethical behaviour, honesty, and transparency — in our products, our data handling, and every relationship we build.

Excellence
We set the benchmark for what spatial infrastructure should look like. Good enough is a starting point, not a finish line.
psychiatry
Sustainability
Long-term viability over short-term growth. We build solutions that hold up across time — for our customers, our communities, and the planet.

Empowerment
We invest in people. Inside BigGeo and through our platform, we create real opportunities for individuals to do meaningful work at scale.
Chief Executive Officer

Brent Lane

Brent founded BigGeo with a clear thesis: spatial data is foundational infrastructure, and it's been unnecessarily hard to access for too long. He leads with a builder's mindset — direct, practical, and focused on removing friction from how teams work with location data.

"The companies that figure out spatial data first will make better decisions than everyone else. We're here to make that happen first."
President

Brett Jones

Brett brings operational depth and commercial focus to everything BigGeo ships. From marketplace structure to enterprise relationships, he ensures what we build translates into real-world outcomes for the teams depending on it.

"Great spatial infrastructure should be invisible — it just works. That's the standard we hold ourselves to."
The Team

The people who keep the platform running and growing.

Dr. Faramarz Samavati
Professor of Computer Science
For over 60 years, geospatial systems have relied on layers and approximations. Faramarz Samavati took a different path. Treating Earth as a continuous, interconnected system and organizing it into a structure that scales from global views down to sub-centimeter precision. At BigGeo, this work forms part of the foundation behind how spatial data is structured, accessed, and activated at scale. This isn't just about visualization. It's about enabling the next generation of applications in which AI can finally work with spatial data in real time.

Jordan McCarthy
Chief Technical Product Officer
You don't build great products by guessing. Jordan McCarthy's approach is grounded in understanding where customers are today, what they actually need, and how to build something that improves their entire experience, not just one part of it. That means thinking beyond features — about building with care and making sure every layer, from data control to performance to usability, works together as one cohesive product. At BigGeo, that mindset shows up in how products are built. Well rounded, high quality, and designed to deliver real value from start to finish.
