LGND just raised $9M to build what it calls “ChatGPT for the Earth,” a GeoAI platform to make sense of the 100 terabytes of satellite imagery collected every day. (TechCrunch)
The startup’s approach turns raw geospatial data into vector embeddings, so analysts and enterprises can ask complex spatial questions—like spotting new wildfire breaks or monitoring vegetation—without building custom models.
The vision: become a foundational layer of Earth intelligence that’s flexible, fast, and scalable enough to power everything from disaster planning to infrastructure mapping.
