Nathan on the Seine embankment across from the Eiffel Tower

Nathan Pope

Co-founder & Technical Director

Nathan builds the atlas itself — the graph, the maps, and everything underneath. Before the atlas, he built payment systems at Shopify used by more than 10,000 merchants; he now applies the same instincts to a stranger problem: mapping the lives, works, and places that make up cultural history. His corners of the map are French cinema and the Impressionist painters.

Areas of the atlas

French cinema, the Impressionists, the maps, and the underlying knowledge graph.
