History
CloudMade was founded by Steve Coast and Nick Black in 2007 who had also both closely involved with the early days of OpenStreetMap. Cloudmade received 2.4 million euro venture capital investment in March 2007. Since then they have been developing applications and also employs a number of 'mapping ambassadors' in the USA to encourage more mapping contributions there and in the UK.
