EarthPulse

Satellite geospatial intelligence for risk management and critical infrastructure monitoring.

Underwriting & Risk Startup Seed

Overview

EarthPulse is a geospatial intelligence solutions provider based in Barcelona that transforms Earth Observation (EO) satellite data into structured analytics for organisations managing physical climate risk, critical infrastructure, and regulatory compliance. The company targets insurers, utilities, agribusinesses, and public sector clients, with insurance as a primary vertical for applications including underwriting model refinement, climate exposure assessment, and portfolio stress-testing.

The core offering is SPAI (Satellite Processing Application Intelligence), a B2B SaaS platform that integrates EO data, AI models, and geospatial analytics into a unified environment. SPAI delivers outputs through interactive maps, KPI dashboards, automated alerts, and REST API endpoints, and is available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. Pre-built monitoring solutions called Pulses cover specific use cases such as flood risk, vegetation encroachment, road safety, and climate exposure, and can be replicated across global sites within hours. A conversational interface called SPAI Chat allows non-GIS users to query geospatial data using natural language.

Founded by Laura Moreno (CEO, former ESA) and Juan B. Pedro (CTO), EarthPulse grew from 4 employees to 11+ staff by 2025 and reported revenue growth from EUR 203k in 2021 to a forecast EUR 1.4M in 2025. The company raised a pre-seed round of approximately EUR 0.3M from GoHub Ventures in 2022 and has received non-equity support from the EU Cassini Accelerator, ESA Phi-Lab, and OVHcloud.
