The story

INRIX was founded in 2004 by Bryan Mistele and Craig Chapman and spun out technology from Microsoft Research. Since 2005, the company has raised $129 million in venture capital funding over five rounds from August Capital, Venrock, Bain Capital Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Porsche SE, and Intel Capital.

INRIX acquired ITIS (a provider of daily traffic and travel information to European drivers), ParkMe, and OpenCar in 2011, 2015, and 2016, respectively.

In November 2023, INRIX acquired the Portland-based shared mobility platform Ride Report.

Products and brands

INRIX collects anonymized data on congestion, traffic incidents, parking, and weather-related road conditions from billions of data points daily in more than 145 countries. The data is aggregated from connected cars and mobile devices, cameras and sensors on roadways, and major events expected to affect traffic. The company makes this analysis available through SaaS cloud-based applications for businesses and road authorities to understand mobility trends. INRIX works with local authorities to digitize rules of the road for highly automated vehicles (HAVs) operating on public roads, and information gathered from HAVs can be used for infrastructure improvements.
