## About

Founded in 2012 and based in California, US, Spire Global, Inc., formerly known as NanoSatisfi, Inc., operates a commercial constellation of satellites for tracking global data sets. CEO Peter Platzer, CTO Jeroen Cappaert, and Joel Spark co-founded the company and have raised venture funding rounds from private equity investors, including Shasta Ventures, Moose Capital, and Qualcomm Ventures. In September 2022, Spire Global, Inc. raised USD 165 million in venture funding from unspecified investors.

The company's developers collect space-based data through a proprietary constellation of over a hundred nanosatellites called LEMUR (Low Earth Multi-Use Receiver). The company also offers a SaaS (software-as-a-service)-based analytics platform for the weather, aviation, maritime, and government industries to identify, track, and predict resources and weather systems of every point on Earth.

Spire Global, Inc. generates revenue by providing enterprises with a software subscription model to monetize the data collected.

Spire Global, Inc. plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SPIR upon completing the merger agreement.
