Why weather data is broken

Weather affects $1 trillion in global economic activity annually. Yet the data and intelligence to act on it remains locked away.

Locked behind enterprise sales

Weather intelligence costs $50K-$500K/year from providers like DTN and AG2. Months of procurement. No self-serve access.

Not built for automation

Trading algorithms, drones, and autonomous systems need instant programmatic access — not a sales call.

Data without actionable insight

Raw forecasts are free. But "wind: 12 m/s" doesn't tell an energy trader whether to hedge their contracts.

Weather protection is inaccessible

Parametric insurance requires enterprise brokers. Small farms, SMBs, and individuals are left exposed to weather risk.

Three layers. One platform.

From raw data to actionable intelligence to financial protection — everything weather-dependent businesses need.

Layer 1

Weather Data API

•40+ sources unified: NOAA, ECMWF, HRRR, ERA5, satellite, radar, marine, solar, air quality
•Clean JSON responses. Self-serve signup. No sales calls.
•Pay-as-you-go pricing from $0.001 per call
•Historical data back to 1940 via ERA5 reanalysis
