# SkyFi

> SkyFi is a self-service Earth intelligence platform that lets users search, task, purchase, and analyze satellite imagery from 50+ commercial providers through a single interface. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, SkyFi serves defense, intelligence, agriculture, insurance, energy, finance, infrastructure, environmental, and mining industries across 179 countries. The platform offers optical, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), hyperspectral, thermal, and aerial imagery with resolutions from 10 meters down to 7.5 centimeters, combined with built-in geospatial analytics and API access.

Key facts about SkyFi:

- SkyFi is a marketplace and aggregator, not a satellite operator. It unifies access to 300+ satellite and aerial sources across 50+ provider partners through one account, one contract, and transparent per-transaction pricing.
- The four core products available on the platform are: (1) satellite tasking for new high-resolution imagery captures, (2) archive high-resolution satellite imagery including basemaps, (3) geospatial analytics, and (4) 3D models and elevation products (DSM, DTM, point clouds, building extraction, terrain classification, 3D true ortho).
- Imagery partners available on demand in the app include Vantor (formerly Maxar), Planet Labs, ICEYE, Umbra, Geosat, Near Space Labs, Satellogic, Urban Sky, Vexcel, Impro, and Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 open data.
- Users can purchase archive imagery, task satellites for new captures, run analytics, and access Maritime AIS vessel tracking data - all without subscriptions, minimum spend, or long-term contracts.
- The platform is available as a web application, a mobile app (iOS and Android), and a REST API with cloud delivery to AWS S3 and Google Cloud Storage.
- SkyFi raised a $12.7 million Series A in January 2026, co-led by Buoyant Ventures and IronGate Capital Advisors.
- SkyFi was selected for the NATO DIANA 2026 Defense Innovation Accelerator.
- Cofounders are CEO Luke Fischer and Bill Perkins.
- SkyFi Pro is the enterprise tier, offering advanced tasking, bulk ordering, higher API rate limits, team management, and dedicated support. Individual Pro starts at $20/month; Enterprise Pro at $500/month.
- Analytics capabilities include change detection, object detection, land use classification, NDVI vegetation health, NDWI water detection, flood mapping, thermal anomaly detection, vessel detection, vehicle counting, forest carbon measurement, infrastructure resilience mapping, iron ore stockpile measurement, and custom GEOINT projects.
- SkyFi builds white-label platforms for satellite operators to sell their data through SkyFi's infrastructure. Current white-label products include Vantor Connect, ICEYE US Direct, and Planet Select.
- Additional integrations include the SkyFi ATAK Plugin for defense and emergency response field operators.
- Data is delivered as GeoTIFF, PNG, and metadata files.
