Foursquare is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 2009, it employs approximately 640 individuals. The company specializes in software development, operating as a technology platform that powers business solutions and consumer products through a deep understanding of location.
On April 29, 2026, Foursquare detailed its new approach to evaluating conversational APIs, specifically for its Foursquare ASK API, a natural language place search endpoint, noting that traditional evaluation methods built by search and recommendation teams over two decades are insufficient. Previously, on April 16, 2026, Foursquare showcased its Attribution solution, which connects linear TV spend to real-world outcomes, enabling a QSR brand to move beyond historical analysis for investment decisions. This follows the company's introduction of FSQ Spatial Agent on April 15, 2026, designed to simplify complex geospatial data by addressing incompatible formats and heavy-duty queries.
