About
HyperPublic was a New York City-based geo-location technology startup founded in 2010 by Jordan Cooper and Doug Petkanics. The company built developer APIs and a technology platform that organized and surfaced layers of local information — including deals, events, and venue data — on top of geographic coordinates. HyperPublic was decidedly engineering-focused, offering more APIs than user-facing services. It raised $1.15 million in 2010 from investors including Softbank Capital and Lerer Ventures. In February 2012, Groupon acquired HyperPublic for its technology; the developer platform was subsequently shut down and all data deleted by March 2012.
