About us

The Curbcut Effect

A curb cut makes sidewalks accessible to everyone. We do the same for spatial data.

Planning Firms

Curbcut gives planning and consulting firms a ready-made geospatial evidence base, so they can deliver deeper analysis to their clients faster, without building data pipelines from scratch.

Research Groups

Curbcut enables research groups to connect their work to national geospatial datasets, cross-reference across domains, and share findings to support open research dissemination.

Curbcut equips civil society organizations with the same quality spatial insights available to governments and consultants, so their advocacy is grounded in evidence, without requiring a technical team.
