Care Weather is dedicated to providing the most accurate global weather data available, empowering governments and shipping companies to effectively prepare for and respond to extreme weather events. This superior data is gathered by Care Weather's innovative flat-panel radar satellite technology. This unique design achieves a remarkable 1000x cost reduction through vertical integration, enhanced solar power capture, and a strategic orbital position that allows for a closer, more detailed view of the Earth's surface. The leadership team includes CEO Patrick Walton, a former NASA Earth science fellow, and CTO Alex Laraway, an expert in Mach 4 rocket technology. Within the last four months, the company successfully designed, built, and launched the smallest radar satellite to date. Care Weather has secured $35 million in Letters of Intent (LOIs), with notable commitments from the Air Force and various cargo shipping entities. The company is proud to be backed by leading investors such as Boost VC, Kickstart Seed Fund, and Y Combinator.
