What Juxta does
Juxta is creating the first Universal Positioning System (UPS) - a GPS alternative that can monitor movement anywhere on earth with no new hardware, minimal internet connection, and remote deployment. Using custom machine learning models and a first-of-its-kind synthetic fingerprinting technology, Juxta can make any indoor, outdoor, or underground space location-aware in minutes for a fraction of the cost of any other geospatial technology. Juxta's UPS can be leveraged across industries - from securely tracking soldiers in combat zones to providing offline positioning for robots to offering asset tracking in warehouses and ports around the globe.

GPS alternative 100x more powerful, no hardware
We're building the first Universal Positioning System that works anywhere on earth without new hardware. Our product uses custom machine learning and synthetic fingerprinting to make indoor, outdoor, and underground spaces location-aware quickly and cheaply. It works with minimal internet and can be deployed remotely, enabling tracking for soldiers, robots, and assets.
We live in San Francisco, and the company will be based in San Francisco after YC.
San Francisco has the right technical talent and investor network for what we're building, plus it's where John is currently located.
