What do you call when companies start with location-based consumer apps and later turn into enterprise-facing platform businesses?

e.g. Foursquare, Niantic forking out Niantic Spatial

Nightly - Twenty Something
YouTube video by NightlyVEVO Nightly - Twenty Something

the songs don't always go along though

I remember bingeing 'Tower of God' back in 2020 when Twenty Something came on, and I was too into it to notice the song was stuck on loop

The break-up song barely matched but now theyre both inseparable in my mind, aah!

for Anansi's gold, it was Kokoroko's West-African jazzy sound, also fitting for story set in 1950s post-independence Ghana

Think it's quaint how the music I happen to have on while reading sublimate into theme songs for the book. Happened a couple of times!
