Niantic, Inc

Niantic, Inc. is a newly formed Google spin-off composed of veterans of Google and Keyhole, the predecessor to Google Earth, focused on creating both immersive, real-world mobile experiences as well as the server and mobile client platforms to support them. Formerly known as Niantic Labs, we’re taking our unique blend of exploration and fun to even bigger audiences with some amazing new partners joining Google as collaborators and backers, including The Pokémon Company and Nintendo. In addition to our core platform technology, we will be developing the recently announced Pokémon GO and continuing to build on the success of Ingress, a real-world mobile game that has been downloaded more than 13 million times, has attracted more than 250,000 people to live events around the world, and has inspired users to collectively walk the distance from the earth to the sun while playing, exploring and discovering.
