About TerraGo

TerraGo develops geospatial collaboration software, mobile applications, and location intelligence solutions for various sectors, including smart cities, utilities, and defense and intelligence. Founded in 2005 by individuals including Michael Bufkin, the company pioneered the patented technology for GeoPDF, which allows for the creation of interactive and portable georeferenced maps and imagery.

The company's business model transitioned from traditional software licensing to a Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription model. Its product suite includes the TerraGo Publisher Suite, which creates GeoPDF files from any data source, and the TerraGo Collaboration Suite, which provides applications for geospatial collaboration and field data collection. Key offerings include TerraGo StreetlightOps for managing smart streetlight networks, UtilityOps for integrating grid assets with back-office systems, and CityOps for digital infrastructure management. The firm also offers TerraGo Magic, a no-code platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that enables clients to build custom mobile apps for field data collection and workforce management without writing code.

TerraGo serves a global client base, with customers in over 70 countries and all 50 U.S. states. Notable clients include major U.S. utilities, defense departments like the U.S. Department of Defense, and government agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which uses TerraGo's platform to deliver its US Topo Quadrangles. The company has received funding from investors like In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture arm.
