Don Osborne, Chief Executive Officer of EarthDaily Analytics, said, “With Antarctica Capital’s solid backing, we have been able to move expeditiously in progressing the development and commercialization of the fully integrated EarthDaily service offering, while also increasing near-term revenues and diversifying the customer base for our Geosys agricultural geoanalytics business. By pairing the fully automated, endlessly scalable, cloud-native SaaS EarthPipeline data processing system with the ultra-high quality, Analytics-Ready Data and daily global coverage provided by the EarthDaily Constellation, EDA is positioned to provide innovative Big Data solutions to some of the greatest challenges facing our world today.”

Chandra Patel, Managing Director of Antarctica Capital, said, “EarthDaily represents an incredible opportunity to apply the tools of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence to an ever-expanding and extremely rich, super-spectral dataset that captures the Earth’s landmass every single day. As firm believers in the promise of EarthDaily Analytics, our ability to provide the Company with both strategic guidance and substantial growth capital allows EDA to position itself as a well-capitalized and largely de-risked innovator, supported by both growing near-term revenues and material momentum towards unlocking its full potential with the launch of the EarthDaily Constellation. Whether as a means of supporting ESG monitoring and assurance mandates, predicting and tracking wildfires, monitoring containership traffic off the coast of California, measuring water uptake and harvested acres to support crop insurance underwriting in Brazil, or informing trading strategies for carbon and other global commodity markets, we are thrilled to support EDA in providing truly differentiated and value-added solutions to the diverse challenges of today and tomorrow.”

Mr. Osborne concluded, “As a well-capitalized company with proven capabilities in Space technologies and ultra-high volume data analytics, a growing book of both near-term revenues and long-term committed business, and a substantially de-risked path to the launch of the EarthDaily Constellation in 2023, we are very optimistic about the prospects for our business and look forward to providing further updates during this exciting period for EDA.”
