About Huq Industries

Huq Industries, founded in 2014, operates as a market intelligence data platform specializing in location intelligence and human mobility data. The company was co-founded by Conrad Poulson, Isambard Poulson, and Alexander Fairfax. The idea originated when the founders were working on a project using location data for mobile apps and recognized the significant research value of the aggregated data, leading to a pivot to their current business model. Initially bootstrapped, the company secured a pre-seed round in late 2015, a seed round in 2017, and has since raised a total of approximately $9.4 million.

The firm provides consumer behavior intelligence solutions by analyzing consented data from a global network of mobile application partners. This allows Huq to offer insights into real-world consumer activities, primarily serving clients in government, finance, retail, and real estate sectors. Its business model is centered on providing this data through subscription-based access to its platforms and custom reports, enabling clients to make data-driven decisions on site selection, store performance, and market analysis. Huq's clientele includes over 300 local councils, investors, and major retail and real estate firms.

Huq's core products, such as 'Lighthouse' and 'Signals', deliver key performance indicators like footfall volumes, visitor dwell time, catchment area analysis, and visitor frequency. The 'Lighthouse' platform is tailored for retail and commercial real estate expansion, while 'Signals' serves public sector organizations. The company employs machine learning algorithms and near real-time data processing to transform over a trillion monthly data points into actionable insights. This data helps organizations benchmark locations, understand competitor strategies, optimize asset portfolios, and identify market trends. By providing a granular view of offline behavior, Huq aims to bring the level of analytical insight available for the online world to physical locations.
