History

EveryScape was founded in 2002 by Mok Oh in Newton, Massachusetts, and was originally called Mok 3.[3][4][5]

In 2005, the company raised $4.5 million in Series A funding.[6]

In May 2007, EveryScape unveiled a demo of its service in San Francisco.[2] On October 29, 2007, the company debuted its service in Boston, New York, Miami, and Aspen, Colorado.[7] The service included 360 degree panoramic views of the cities, and allowed users to contribute indoor and outdoor photographs to its maps.[4][8][9]

EveryScape expanded its service to Lexington, Massachusetts, in December 2007,[10] to Cambridge, Massachusetts, on January 17, 2008,[11] and to Laguna Beach, California, a week later on January 24, 2008.[12]

On April 7, 2008, EveryScape added Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.[13] Later in the month, Beverly Hills was added.

In March 2008, the company secured $7 million in Series B funding for expansion.[14][15][16]

In February 2010, the company raised $6 million in Series C funding.[6]

In December 2010, EveryScape formed a partnership with Bing to develop an “Interior Views” feature on Bing Maps. The feature allowed users to explore the inside of buildings.[17]
