EarthCare.ai: Turn Complex Climate & Weather Data into Actionable Insights
Climate data understood
Today's climate startup feature is EarthCare.ai. EarthCare.ai is building the world's largest database of aggregated and normalized environmental & climate data for use by the insurance, retail, real-estate and agriculture industries. Their vision is to help companies make climate resistant business decisions that lead to a greener and cleaner future for the Earth.
EarthCare.ai Fast Facts
Headquarters
Skopje, Macedonia
Product
The technical backbone of EarthCare.ai's aggregation and data delivery system is based on the initial system they developed for years for our first venture - AirCare (the air quality app). EarthCare.ai found a fast and scalable way of taking in large amounts of data from multiple sources every hour, normalizing it and unifying it in a singular format. The beauty for companies using EarthCare.ai's data is that they can define their own format for usage, and don't need to conform to what we force them to use.
Funding
EarthCare.ai has raised $120,000 from Techstars and is actively raising $500,000 for their Pre-Seed round.

Market Opportunity
The Global Disaster Preparedness Systems Market Size gathered $154.8B in 2021 and is set to garner a market size of $296.7B by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.7%. The time is better than ever, and the competition is lagging behind by not delivering a one-stop-shop solution that relies on the latest academic methods of data normalization between ground stations & satellites.
Traction

Why Now?
We are in the midst of the climate crisis, and severe weather is our new daily normal. In 2022, $300B worth of damages were created due to natural disasters, and this number is rising 15% year over year. For the first time in history, 2021 and 2022 broke the $100B mark in claim payouts by insurance companies, sending the industry in a panic. EarthCare.ai helps you access environmental data so that business, like the insurance industry, retail, real-estate, governments and researchers, can have a one-stop-shop and focus on creating more resilient businesses and policies instead of worrying about data aggregation and quality.
Climate Impact
By giving government agencies and policy makers simple and easy access to a treasure trove of climate and environmental data, EarthCare.ai will allow them to come up with more resilient and effective policies for battling climate. The first step to solving any issue is to have data driven decision making.
