David Herse

CEO/Founder at Mapulus

David Herse is a geospatial technologist rethinking how artificial intelligence understands place. As founder of Mapulus, he is building systems that add the missing spatial dimension to AI, turning location from a static backdrop into a source of predictive power.

David's work explores the messy reality of where things actually happen. When a festival starts, it rains, or a cruise ship docks, ripple effects follow. These hyperlocal factors, often overlooked, reveal patterns that drive demand, disruption, and opportunity.

By combining weather, movement, events, and demographics into spatial intelligence platforms, David helps organisations make better decisions grounded in the "where" and "when." His mission is to make predictions as intuitive as checking the weather, only for the forces that shape business, cities, and communities.
