Sense Networks is a New York City based company with a focus on applications that analyze big data from mobile phones, carrier networks, and taxicabs, particularly by using machine learning technology to make sense of large amounts of location (latitude/longitude) data.[1][2][3][4]
In 2009, Sense was named one of "The 25 Most Intriguing Startups in the World" by Bloomberg Businessweek[5] and was called "The Next Google" on the cover of Newsweek.[6]
In 2014, Sense Networks was acquired by YP, "the local search and advertising company owned by Cerberus Capital Management and AT&T."[7] It was subsequently sold off to Verve in 2017 [8]
