Satellite Vu Secures £3.6M Seed Funding to Launch Thermal Imaging Satellite Constellation

  • London-based Satellite Vu has raised £3.6 million in seed funding to launch the world's first thermal imaging satellite constellation

  • The constellation will be able to image the thermal footprint of any building on the planet every 1-2 hours, providing valuable data for energy efficiency monitoring and carbon emission reduction efforts

  • The funding round was led by Seraphim Capital and saw participation from prominent investors like A/O PropTech and Ridgeline Ventures.

      • ProblemTechnology Infrastructure

      "Buildings are responsible for almost 40% of global carbon emissions. It's hard to know which buildings are wasting the most energy, so it's difficult to make informed decisions about how to improve energy efficiency."

      Solution

      "Satellite Vu uses a constellation of miniaturized satellites with high-resolution infrared cameras to collect temperature data about buildings day and night. This data can be used to identify the buildings that are wasting the most energy, so that investment in energy efficiency measures can be deployed more effectively."
