Enterprise weather rival Tomorrow.io raises $175M for satellite expansion

Extreme weather can disrupt supply chains, aviation, logistics, and energy operations worldwide. Traditional forecasts are often too slow and not detailed enough for real-time decisions, leading to costly business disruptions each year.

Tomorrow.io tackles this problem with weather-resiliency technology that uses its own satellites, generative AI, and advanced modelling to deliver predictive, impact-based insights down to the street level.

The Boston-based company raised $175 million in equity funding. Stonecourt Capital and HarbourVest Partners led the round, with support from Square Peg, Canaan, Activate Capital, Pitango, ClearVision, and Fontinalis.

This funding will help Tomorrow.io accelerate work on DeepSky, its AI weather satellite network, and expand its global atmospheric sensing system.

Making hyper-accurate, actionable weather data accessible to all

The story starts in 2017, when CEO Shimon Elkabetz, together with Itai Zlotnik and Rei Goffer, saw just how far commercial weather intelligence lagged.

Tomorrow.io’s platform uses 13 active satellites and generative AI models to provide constant, high-frequency atmospheric monitoring. The system offers nowcasts and forecasts with just 30 seconds of delay and meter-level accuracy.

Its main advantages are impact-based predictions, like hail risk for specific fleets, full integration from hardware to insights, and DeepSky’s planned network of over 100 satellites for worldwide coverage.

Unlike The Weather Company or AccuWeather, which rely on government data and offer broad public forecasts, Tomorrow.io owns its own satellites to create proprietary data. Its direct competitors include ClimaCell (now part of Tomorrow.io), Baron Weather, and Orbital Insight.

What’s next for Tomorrow.io?

The $175 million will help accelerate DeepSky deployments, aiming to achieve full constellation coverage by 2028 for continuous global sensing.

In the near term, Tomorrow.io plans to double satellite launches in 2026, grow its customer base beyond logistics and energy into agriculture and defence, and launch climate resilience APIs.
