“The reason there’s this gap is that the government finds it hard to attract top talent, as do weather companies, while for these tech companies, weather is not their core industry. They don’t go deep into the domain and work with the players to give them the tools they need,” explained Julian Green, CEO and co-founder of Brightband (formerly known as OpenEarthAI). “We think a startup brings great AI people, great data people, and great weather people together. There’s a real opportunity to operationalize AI and make it available to everyone.”
