ForestWalk is a Denver-based software company that enables organizations around the world to better understand their target markets by providing quick access to detailed population and demographic data and tools with Population Explorer. Population Explorer was first conceived by our CEO Ben Watkins and COO Rob Rose a few days after 2004's Indian Ocean Tsunami. While facilitating humanitarian aid distribution for the United Nations, the pair realized that answering a simple question - how many people lived in affected areas - was a challenge that delayed the delivery of life-saving assistance. They set out to build a tool that could answer this question quickly and effectively. First launched in 2010 to support the US Government's Famine Early Warning Systems Network, Population Explorer has evolved into the commercial tool it is today. Private sector companies in over 115 countries find Population Explorer valuable for its locational intelligence and investment decision-making support, while humanitarian and aid organizations continue to leverage its capabilities.
