Salary benchmarks
Our take
Jupiter Intelligence provides weather and climate risk analytics to high profile enterprises in the insurance, real estate and energy industries including BP, Liberty Mutual, and Zurich, as well as government-funded bodies like NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense.
There’s been a growing wave of investment into weather and climate focused startups over the last few years, as extreme weather events become more frequent. If government organizations and corporations are to prepare for, or indeed alleviate and counter these climate catastrophes, they need high quality, granular data.
The background of Jupiter Intelligence’s co-founding team suggests it's up to the task. Rich Sorkin and Eric Wun co-founded weather prediction company Zeus Analytics in 2008, Josh Hacker previously worked for the National Center for Atmospheric Research, while Alan Blumberg helped develop the celebrated Princeton Ocean Model. The founding team, alongside significant funding and high-profile partnerships with the linked of the UN indicates Jupiter Intelligence's secure position in the years to come.
