Steve Coast (born 20 December 1980) is a British entrepreneur and the founder of the OpenStreetMap community-based world mapping project and CloudMade, a geography-related company.

Early life

Coast grew up in Walderslade and London, England.

Career

Coast interned at Wolfram Research before studying computing science at University College London (UCL).[2]

In July 2004, he founded the OpenStreetMap project (OSM).[3]

Coast set up Z.X.V. Ltd. with Nick Black, Tom Carden and Ben Gimpert as a technology consultancy in 2005. In 2008 this became CloudMade after investment by Nikolaj Nyholm and Sunstone Capital (company's website claims it was established in 2007[4]).[5] He resigned from CloudMade in October 2010,[6] although he remained a shareholder.{{citation needed|date=June 2014}}

On 23 November 2010, Coast announced that he had accepted a position as Principal Architect at Microsoft's Bing Mobile.[7]

On 3 September 2013, Coast wrote on his blog that he had started to work for TeleNav, taking care of OSM development for the company's Scout navigator.[8]

In March 2014, Coast became an advisor to Auth0, an identity-as-a-service provider.[9]

In November 2015, Coast published "The Book of OSM". The book contains 15 interviews conducted by Coast with various users who had participated in the project since its beginning.[10]

In January 2016, he stepped down from full-time work at TeleNav[11] and started his work as a board advisor in Navmii.[12] In March 2016 he started working as Chief Evangelist for what3words.[13][14] In May 2016 he became an advisor in MapJam.[15] In fall 2017, he joined DigitalGlobe.[16]

Personal life

In 2008, Coast moved to the US, first to San Francisco and later to Colorado. In November 2010 Coast wrote that he would be moving to Seattle, Washington, USA.[17] He moved back to Colorado in 2013.
