John founded MetaCarta in 1999 while beginning work on his Ph.D. in physics as a Hertz Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.While studying the microclimates of forests, John encountered a need for a new way to view collections of documents: geographically.John's vision and leadership have carried MetaCarta to its current position as the pioneer of geographic text search.At MetaCarta, he focuses on new technology explorations and partnerships.He speaks to technical audiences and advises on implementation strategies.
John holds a B.S. in physics with distinction from Yale University where he led Yale's first solar car team to the top rookie seat of Sunyrace 97.In addition to his role as CTO at MetaCarta, John is continuing his graduate studies in condensed matter theory at MIT. -

Frank provided a simple way to evaluate whether or not MetaCarta's solution is for you.If you have maps and documents and use lots of staff hours to tease out relationship between the two to make decisions, then you are a candidate.
Necessity and Invention
Frank gave me a MetaCarta history lesson.Not too many years ago he was a first year Ph.D. student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in physics.He was studying the interaction of forests and weather on islands.That meant he was reading lots of scientific papers and manually plotting their focus areas on a map.
