About
Built in the Brainerd Lakes area for Greater Minnesota
Spatialytics exists because the region has a clear gap in software product companies and high-wage tech roles — and because local businesses and organizations still need modern tools that big-city platforms don’t fully serve.
The mission
Create year-round, high-value software and spatial intelligence work in Greater Minnesota while giving local businesses, print shops, municipalities, and natural resource partners tools that reduce overhead and improve outcomes.
That means building real products — not just consulting deliverables — and creating career paths that give CLC graduates and local talent a reason to stay.
The approach
- 01 Domain first. GIS and location intelligence are core strengths, not side features.
- 02 Product mindset. Build systems that can grow beyond a single client engagement.
- 03 Local impact. Measure success by jobs, capacity, and value that stays in the region.
Web GIS, 3D explorers, and location intelligence that non-specialists can actually use.
SaaS that helps local print shops compete with large platforms without giving up control.
Custom tools that cut administrative overhead and support better wages.
Why this region
The Brainerd Lakes area and Northwest Minnesota have lower cost of living than the Twin Cities and a real quality-of-life advantage. What they don’t have at scale is a dense cluster of software product companies and computer & mathematical occupations.
That gap is both a challenge and an opening. Spatialytics is built to help close it — one product and one partnership at a time.
