"Everywhere I Look—Maps!"
Hi. I'm Ben. Industrial-grade sponge. Data-hungry. Insatiably curious. Flawed but functional.
I've been told I communicate in my own "custom language." I don't disagree. It's a blend of thoughts, caffeine, frustration, and the occasional breakthrough.
How It All Started
The birth of MapApp didn't happen in a sleek boardroom. It began on the floor of my Palo Alto office—during Thanksgiving. My family was doing its usual dysfunctional dance (we'll save that for another blog). I was supposed to be prepping for a pitch with a very real-sounding but entirely fictional company: Models & Bottles, also known as B&B, headquartered (hypothetically) on Treasure Island, CA. Yes, that Treasure Island.
But what I really wanted—was something painfully simple: A map. With dots. No fancy clustering. No predictive nonsense. Just a clean, fast interface where I could slap data on geography and use it.

Why MapApp?
Because I was tired of bloated tools. I wanted something that didn't require a 50-page onboarding doc or a $1M enterprise license. Just drop the CSV and go.
"A real tech tool from a fake tech company."
But in Silicon Valley, even fake companies get seed funding.
Twitter… Medium… Blogspot… Substack… I've screamed into all of them.
But this is where I'll stay grounded—with MapApp!
