At HOVER we’re building the future of 3D property data with a platform that lets anyone generate accurate 3D models by simply taking a few photos with their smartphone. Our goal is to change the way you see the world by building the world’s most comprehensive and accurate database of physical properties.

Our Start

HOVER is based on a technology platform that we originally created for the U.S. Military Special Operations. In 2012 we began delivering three-dimensional maps derived from aerial photographs so the military troops could get a better idea of what they were walking into. We've now migrated that technology into a solution that works on a standard smartphone, and we're using it to transform a market that has been notoriously difficult to change: home improvement.
