Hyperpublic Launches Free POI Database, Now Helps Developers Monetize Local Apps

placesplusNew York-based startup Hyperpublic has some big news today that should catch the eye of developers looking to do anything with local: they're opening access to a new Point of Interest (POI) database called Places+, and they're also giving developers a straightforward and easy way to start monetizing. All free of charge. Founder Jordan Cooper, who is also a Venture Partner at Lerer Ventures, walked me through each of the releases. He says that Hyperpublic has offered some location APIs before, but that they were small potatoes compared to what they're bringing to the table now. The Places+ product will be competing with the likes of Factual and Foursquare's location database (each database allows mobile apps to display which restaurants and other venues are near a given location). But Cooper says that Places+ contains a superset of its competitors' data ?�and he thinks that it has fresher data to boot.
