An environmental success story ten years in the making
How we worked our way from making $20 a year to a thriving software company.
Ten years ago, Mapistry started as a niche GIS map builder. Back then, it was just us (Allie and Ryan, the founders), armed with a knack for coding and a civil engineering degree.
It turned out, though, that not many people needed a new GIS map builder. We made $20 a month our first year.
We pivoted in our second year to focus on software for SWPPPs, which brought our first customers.As we delved deeper into air and water permits, environmental teams kept telling us,
“I’ve got stuff EVERYWHERE.”
- Inspections on paper forms
- Limit calculations in spreadsheets
- Overdue tasks in their email inbox
It was chaotic. How are environmental teams supposed to stay compliant like this? Well, it turns out they don’t.
That realization was our turning point.
Slowly but surely, we’ve built a suite of tools that allow environmental teams to do their work within one platform.
So you can turn your paper-spreadsheet-email-hell into a manageable system you love showing up to in the morning.

The secret to better environmental software?
Understanding our customers.
We don’t build software for our customers. We build it with them.
Many companies claim they love their customers, but at Mapistry, we put our customers at the center of everything we do.
From day one, we built a community of environmental leaders to learn about the problems they wanted to solve with software. We didn't want to build Mapistry just for them; we wanted to build it with them.
That's why things like the Mapistry Customer Advisory Board, our Annual Summit, and regular site visits are a big deal for us. They're not just routine – they're everyone's favorite times of the year.
Working on environmental stuff is hands-on for us. We don't just stay in the office; we get out there in the field. It's how we're shaping the future of environmental.
The values that define us
Diversity, grit, environmental impact, teamwork, and embracing our inner geek. They’re at the root of how we work.
Diversity
We believe that diverse teams are smarter and more resilient. We are more empathetic, inclusive, and effective because of our diverse backgrounds and identities.
Grit
We believe that excellence demands grit. Achievements are won by those with stamina, those that have passion and perseverance for long-term goals. We don’t give up.
Environmental Impact
We are a team of environmental enthusiasts and we take pride in helping our customers to better protect the environment and reduce pollution.
One Team
We believe in collaboration and leaving your ego at the door. Great ideas can come from anyone and we don’t hide anything; we’re candid, authentic, and transparent.
Geeky
We believe in letting our nerd flag fly! Being geeky means having the curiosity to learn new things and the desire to share your knowledge with others.
“In a high school computer science class, I got my first exposure to what it is like to be the only woman in the room and this experience continued throughout college. Being a startup founder certainly didn’t change these demographics, female founders still represent only a small portion of companies backed by venture capital. These experiences shaped my priorities when building Mapistry’s team. I knew I wanted to build a company where neither myself nor anyone else felt like they were out of place.”
