At MapMentors, we believe that spatial thinking and GIS skills should be accessible to everyone. Our mission is to democratize geospatial education by providing high-quality, practical training that bridges the gap between theory and real-world application.

Founded in 2021 by a team of passionate GIS professionals who saw the growing demand for specialized spatial skills across industries, MapMentors has quickly become a trusted name in geospatial education.

What began as a small collection of tutorials has grown into a global learning platform serving over 10,000 students worldwide. Our founders, experienced GIS professionals from diverse backgrounds in environmental science, urban planning, and software development, shared a common frustration: traditional GIS education was often too theoretical and disconnected from practical workplace needs.

"We noticed a significant skills gap between what was being taught in academic settings and what employers actually needed. Students were graduating with theoretical knowledge but struggled to apply it in meaningful ways."

This realization sparked the creation of MapMentors – a platform dedicated to hands-on, project-based learning that emphasizes real-world applications and industry-relevant skills.
