928companies tracked
$9.1Bdisclosed funding
4unicorns
341have raised

$9.1 billion in disclosed funding across 928 tracked companies tells you exactly how serious the United States has gotten about Geographic Information Systems. This directory ranks the best Geographic Information Systems companies operating in the United States, ordered by disclosed equity and recent funding momentum, so you can cut straight to who's actually capitalized.

Planet leads the funding table at $484 million, with HawkEye 360 close behind at $387 million and Spire at $246 million. Four unicorns have emerged from the cohort. And the capital concentration at the top is steep: those three names alone account for over $1.1 billion, more than 12% of the sector's entire disclosed pool. Hot themes right now include spatial data infrastructures, geospatial metadata, and census data integration, and as recent analysis on GIS's expanding role makes clear, enterprise demand for location intelligence isn't slowing. I'd also flag that install growth across information services apps is running roughly 15% year-over-year, which tracks with what we're seeing in B2B geospatial adoption. So who's actually building durable revenue here, not just burning through runway? That's the question this directory is designed to answer.
