Simularity

Simularity is an advanced satellite image analysis automation startup that leverages artificial intelligence to analyze geospatial data in historical context. Their main product, Automated Image Anomaly Detection System (AIADS), identifies unusual changes in satellite and aerial images by comparing them to historical images of the same location. The software actively monitors large geographic areas, allowing analysts to focus on specific areas, thus reducing costs through effective analysis of low-resolution images. As a demonstration of their cost-effectiveness, they offer a free South China Sea Rapid Alert (SCSRA) service based on the analysis of Sentinel 2 imagery. This has had significant geopolitical impact in the governments of South East Asian countries. Their customer base includes government and private sector entities primarily in the US and the Asia-Pacific region. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in the United States, Simularity received its last investment, a Seed Round, on July 17, 2018 from Shatter Tech Venture Holdings.
