Bee Maps, powered by Hivemapper, has secured 32 million in new funding to expand its global decentralised mapping network. The round was led by Pantera Capital, LDA Capital, Borderless Capital, and Ajna Capital, highlighting strong investor confidence in the companys mission to build the worlds first native AI-powered map.
The funding will support Bee Maps efforts to deploy more mapping devices, scale its contributor rewards program, and enhance the AI models that power its network.
CEO Ariel Seidman called October a new era for Bee Maps. This funding accelerates device deployments, expands coverage, and strengthens our AI pipeline, Seidman said. Demand isnt the issue, scaling supply is. As coverage grows, HONEY will return the value of a global decentralised map to the community.
