## About

Founded in 2018 by CEO Motoyuki Arai and based in Tokyo, Japan, Synspective, Inc. provides solutions through satellite data analysis and develops and operates small SAR satellites. In December 2025, Hulic Startup acquired Synspective, Inc. from unspecified sellers for JPY 4.51 billion, or JPY 916 per share, in a PIPE transaction.

Synspective provides high-resolution SAR data from its satellites, available for integration into various data analysis platforms. This solution enables precise monitoring of land movement for infrastructure management and natural disaster prevention. Synspective offers tools for assessing flood damage and aiding in emergency response and recovery efforts. This service provides rapid evaluation of disaster-affected areas, facilitating timely decision-making and resource allocation. Designed for the renewable energy sector, this solution supports the management and optimization of offshore wind farms. Additionally, Synspective assists in tracking forest resources and promoting sustainable forestry practices. This data is used by government agencies, research institutions, and commercial entities for diverse applications, including urban planning, disaster response, and environmental monitoring. 

The company plans to use the December 2025 funding to establish new infrastructure for future generations and is in the process of developing a satellite data business utilizing satellite constellations.
