About us
CARTO is the leading Agentic GIS platform. Unlike other GIS systems, CARTO removes data fragmentation and technical bottlenecks by letting you build AI Agents, geospatial workflows, and interactive maps directly inside your cloud data warehouse or lakehouse.
With CARTO for Agents, those same capabilities extend into the agentic platforms your teams already use, so spatial analysis and reports run at scale without manual effort. Every team gets Location Intelligence that lives inside your existing, governed cloud infrastructure, and powers use cases like network planning, risk assessments, and identifying growth opportunities.
Our mission
Historically, spatial analysis has been complex and siloed, restricted to a niche group of GIS experts. However, as the field of spatial analytics grows and businesses strive to become spatially aware, the demand for accessible Location Intelligence is increasing.
CARTO aims to bridge this gap and break down the GIS data silo, enhancing the productivity of organizations globally.
Our company background
Backed by leading VC firms like Insight Partners, Accel Partners, Salesforce Ventures, Kibo Ventures, and Earlybird Ventures, CARTO was founded in 2012 by Javier de la Torre and Sergio Álvarez.
CARTO is headquartered in New York, with additional offices in Madrid and Seville and a team of more than 160 experts in spatial analysis and GIS development.
