We don't need to keep the data - we'd rather sell it to other (qualified) folks to build useful tools on top of our data platform.

Think verifying hail claim insurance for farmers (no need to send a guy out there), or helping NOAA assist truck drivers with weather conditions on interstates etc. etc. (the list is very long)

Maybe we'll cover all that surface area ourselves, but that sounds pretty challenging.

A good proxy is satellite companies. They're typically just a API call for data, not full-stack collection + analysis.

For utilities, we'll probably stay vertical, so that we have our first 'application' to bring our data to market. We'll see.

Also - at scale we're excited to help build physical world models with our data. To be seen if this is something we'd do in-house.

We're super excited to help new startups build data that were never possible before with the extreme high cost of data collection :D
