Walking Around the Esri Startup Zone and Exploring New Apps in the ArcGIS Marketplace

Posted by gletham,

Have you been to ESRIUC yet? The annual Esri mega-event is a must attend for anyone working with Esri technology or thinking about adopting Geo technology. The UC is a huge event, with so much to see, do and hear, there’s simply no way to describe it all in one short blog post. Something of interest that takes place each year at UC is the Startup Zone – a dedicated area where you can meet and visit with Esri startup small business partner companies. This area is a great place for small busines startup, developers, consultants, and students looking for work to hang out, network, learn and explore opportunities.

At the 2017ESRIUC our booth was conveniently located next to the Startup Zone – a great strategy for us as we have worked with several of them in the past to help them bring their apps to the ArcGIS MarketPlace. We walked around the Zone filming for several minutes to help introduce you to the Zone and show you a small sample of some really cool people that are doing some great stuff thanks to the support of Esri and the Startup group.


Recall, the Startup Program from Esri is a free three year program that gives emerging businesses the tools to build mapping and location analytics capabilities into their products. Qualifying startups receive cloud services, software, training and support, content, and other opportunities to help them succeed.Esri supports member companies with cloud services and software, support and training, community support and co-marketing. Startup companies can apply for the program provided they are:

  • less than 3 years old
  • generating less than $1 million in revenue
  • building software (or SAS) products
