About Us
Hi. We’re Foursquare - a location technology platform dedicated to improving how people move through the real world.
If it tells you where, it's probably built on Foursquare.

Back in 2009, Foursquare invented the check-in. Today, those 13+ billion check-ins are the foundation of our powerful, proprietary Pilgrim technology that helps make sense of where phones go for the more than 150,000 partners who have registered to use our developer tools, including Uber, Tencent, Apple, Samsung, and Twitter.
