AerialSphere, the industry leader in delivering immersive aerial experiences, today announced it has completed a $5 million Series A round of financing. Jokake Companies led the investment round with participation from both existing and new investors. The investment brings AerialSphere’s total funding since launching its revolutionary aerial experience platform to $6.3 million and will support AerialSphere’s national expansion, with the goal of mapping the 66 largest markets by the end of 2020. The investment will also be used to aggressively expand its sales and marketing efforts as well as broaden and accelerate product development.
The Series A financing builds on an exceptional few years for AerialSphere which has seen a growing roster of clients including Marriott, Cushman & Wakefield, CBRE, Colliers International, Catellus and The Opus Group. AerialSphere has also seen a number of key executive appointments and growing product adoption, with the launch of the new Expereince360 and VR360 product lines occurring in the coming month.
“The funding is a strong validation of our business model, our mission, our growth and overall confidence in our team,” said AerialSphere CEO Mike Smith “Our offering is well timed with the increasing need for more engaging and informative mapping options. I am thrilled that our new investment partners see our vision to change the way people and companies experience maps. With their financial commitment and expertise in growing companies, Jokake and the rest of the investment group will help us execute our vision more rapidly.”

XP360 will give users the tools and flexibility to create their own immersive experiences through a powerful web application.
