About us

We’re making the planet legible

Every day, satellites capture the entire Earth. Yet most of that imagery is never looked at. We build AI that turns it into understanding — so anyone can see what’s changing, in time to act.

Our story

From research lab to the planet’s operating picture

Atlaso started in 2022 when a small team of remote-sensing researchers and engineers noticed the same pattern everywhere they worked: organizations had access to more imagery than ever, but only a handful of specialists could turn it into answers.

We set out to change that by building a geospatial foundation model — trained on billions of square kilometers of optical and radar imagery — and wrapping it in a product anyone can use. Today, insurers, utilities, governments, farmers and conservation groups rely on Atlaso to watch the places that matter to them.

We’re just getting started. The planet is changing fast, and we think everyone deserves to see it clearly.

Values

How we work

The principles that guide how we build, hire and serve customers.

  • 01

    Ground truth first

    We measure ourselves by accuracy in the real world, not benchmarks. Every model ships with honest metrics.

  • 02

    Make it legible

    Geospatial is powerful but hard. We obsess over making insight usable by people who aren’t GIS experts.

  • 03

    Earn trust daily

    Customers trust us with sensitive locations. Security, privacy and transparency are product features.

  • 04

    Small teams, big ownership

    We hire curious, kind people and give them room to own important problems end to end.
