DLA Piper advises Edison Partners in investment aimed at expanding digital indoor mapping platform

DLA Piper advised growth equity firm Edison Partners on its investment in Mappedin, a leading indoor mapping and spatial data platform that digitizes venues to create interactive, 3D indoor maps, navigation, and wayfinding experiences.

Edison Partners led additional investors in the US$24.5 million Series B funding round that will support expansion of Mappedin’s spatial technology platform beyond individual buildings and toward city-scale indoor mapping deployments, while also expanding access to the platform for first responders, safety organizations, and large public venues.

In addition to Torres, the cross-border deal team included co-lead Partner Morgan McDonald (Vancouver) and Associates Taylor Mielnicki, Shane Plavin (both New York), and Maneesha Dakha (Vancouver).
