Naveen Selvadurai Biography

Naveen Selvadurai is a US internet entrepreneur and co-founder of location-based social networking site Foursquare.com. Naveen co-founded Foursquare with Dennis Crowley, a location-based social networking website for mobile devices such as smartphones. Users check in at venues using a mobile website text messaging or a device-specific application by selecting from a list of venues the application locates nearby. Location is based on GPS hardware in the mobile device or network location provided by the application and the map is based on data from the OpenStreetMap project. Each check-in awards the user points and sometimes badges. The user who checks in the most often to a venue becomes the mayor and users regularly vie for mayorships. In 2012 Selvadurai announced on his blog that he will step down from his day-to-day operational role at the company later that month. He joined the Expa startup studio founded in May 2013 by former Uber and StumbleUpon founder Garrett Camp. Selvadurai joins Expa as a partner focused on New York operations for the organization.
