Via buys mapping startup Remix for $100 million
Remix, the startup that developed mapping software used by cities for transportation planning and street design, was born out of a hackathon during a Code for America fellowship. Nearly seven years later, the San Francisco-based startup is being acquired by Via for $100 million in cash and equity.
Remix will become a subsidiary of Via, an arrangement that will let the startup maintain its independent brand. Remix’s 65 employees and two of its co-founders CEO Tiffany Chu and CTO Dan Getelman will stay on.
The acquisition adds yet another service to Via’s ever-expanding business, as well as a customer base of more than 350 local governments in 22 countries.
