    • 171. Climavision: Chris Goode on Transforming the Weather Data Industry

      Chris Goode is the founder and CEO of Climavision, a Louisville based startup building the infrastructure to offer weather data as a service. In June of 2021, Climavision came out of building in "stealth" to announce that they had raised $100 million from TPG. Through building and operating their own radar systems and partnering with Low Earth Orbit satellite companies, Climavision will be collecting massive amounts of raw weather data, feeding that data into its algorithms, and then providing the data and insights to their clients via API.
