While satellites and drones are the standard, using helium balloons to get high-resolution images from the stratosphere offers a unique blend of accessibility and coverage. It’s a smart way to bridge the gap between traditional aerial photography and expensive satellite imagery. The $20 million Series B round is well-deserved, clearly showing investor confidence in their unconventional method.
