Foursquare, a privately owned software development company founded in 2009 and headquartered in the US, employs approximately 640 people. Its core business is the creation and provision of technology platforms. These platforms leverage location data to support both business applications and consumer-facing products.
Foursquare's geospatial technology helps companies locate audiences and personalize branding, according to a Southern California adtech overview published in an unspecified timeframe. A separate report, also without a specified date, used Foursquare's map API in a study ranking US cities for gamers; McKinney, Texas was included in this study. There is no connection between these reports and a Nigerian church's 70th-anniversary lecture on poverty alleviation held at Harbour Point on Victoria Island on an unspecified date. Finally, Barbados' Foursquare Rum Distillery won the 2025 IWSC Rum Spirit Trophy for its Equidem 14-Year-Old rum, scoring 98 points.
