Montana-based mapping startup onX raises a round of funding fit for Big Sky Country<\/h2>\n

A mapping startup based in Missoula, Mont., which allows users to download sophisticated offline topographic maps outlining public and private lands and a number of other features geared towards hunting, fishing and camping, has pulled in its first major outside funding.<\/p>\n

onX<\/a>\u00a0has closed a $20.3 million Series A round led by\u00a0Summit Partners.\u00a0Bessemer Venture Partners, Millennium Technology Value Partners, Next Frontier Capital and NBCUniversal CEO\u00a0Steve Burke also participated in the round. The company is calling the fundraise one of the biggest ever among startups based in Montana.<\/p>\n

A big application of the Missoula, Montana-based startup\u2019s technology has been in enabling users to track the boundaries of public and private lands while creating custom maps with other information grouped into \u201clayers\u201d for when they\u2019re hunting, fishing or hiking. The company\u2019s central product for desktop, mobile and Garmin GPS devices is an app called onX Hunt, which the startup says is used by \u201cmillions of hunters\u201d though onX CTO\/COO Joshua Spitzer notes that \u201calmost zero percent of<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
