We measure the risk the world can't yet price.

We build the sensors and models that measure Africa's climate risk, starting with the flood.

The data doesn't exist yet. So we're building it.

Most of Africa's flood risk has never been measured. Cheap sensors, open satellites and modern models finally make it possible. We're building it here, where it matters most.

01

We own the sensors

We build and place our own sensors in the catchment.

02

We read the satellites

Satellites map the water from space, in any weather.

03

We return one score

One flood score, 0 to 100, for any address.

We put our own instruments in the catchment. This is the ground truth every score is measured against.
