By operating the world’s first coordinated high-resolution imaging constellation, Skybox aims to empower commercial and government customers to make more informed, data-driven decisions that will improve the profitability of companies and the welfare of societies around the world.
Through a planned constellation of 24+ satellites that will capture high-resolution imagery and the first ever HD-video of any spot on earth, multiple times per day, Skybox will be able to take the pulse of the planet on a near real-time basis to provide an indispensable tool in addressing global challenges in areas including security, humanitarian efforts, and environmental monitoring.
Founded in 2009, Skybox has raised $91M from leading silicon valley investors, including Khosla Ventures, Bessemer Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Norwest Venture Partners. Skybox is on track to launch its first two satellites of the constellation in late 2013.
Skybox is currently headquartered in Mountain View, CA and was named to MIT Technology Review’s “Top 50 Most Innovative Companies” in 2012 and Red Herring Top 100 North American companies in 2013.
