Climate change is creating urgent risks for industries like agriculture, where unpredictable weather patterns, drought, and flooding threaten food security, supply chains, and infrastructure. As the IPCC highlights, the window to mitigate the worst effects of climate change is closing fast, making climate adaptation crucial.

By providing forecasts with a 1km range, the platform helps businesses anticipate climate risks and make data-driven decisions across areas like sourcing, supply chains, and risk management.
Raising a total of $25.5M, the company has seen rapid growth, increasing its annual recurring revenue by five times and expanding its customer base fourfold.
