Tomorrow.io just pulled $175M out of the clouds, and no, this is not one of those polite rounds that asks permission before it changes the room temperature. This one moves air. Real air. The kind that decides whether planes lift, power grids hold, supply chains breathe, or cities flood. Boston built it. Space carries it. The rest of the world feels it.

Shimon Elkabetz, Rei Goffer, and Itai Zlotnik did not wake up one day and decide weather needed better branding. They noticed something structural was broken. 95% of global forecasting still leans on a handful of aging government satellites, most of which are nearing retirement. That is like running modern finance on a fax machine and calling it redundancy. Tomorrow.io looked at that gap and said tomorrow deserves better data than yesterday.

Enter DeepSky. The world’s first AI-native weather satellite constellation, not an accessory to models, but the source. 13 satellites already up. Dozens more coming. 60-minute global revisit times while legacy systems take hours. 3x more atmospheric data than the rest of the industry combined. Weather stops being a headline and becomes infrastructure.

Stonecourt Capital and HarbourVest Partners led the $175M equity financing, pushing Tomorrow.io past a $1B valuation and bringing total funding near $500M. That capital is not sitting politely on a balance sheet. It is accelerating DeepSky deployment, expanding coverage into data deserts like India, Africa, and Southeast Asia, and turning weather from a passive forecast into an active decision engine.

More than 250 organizations already rely on this platform, including over 50% of the top 10 Fortune 500. Aviation, energy, logistics, insurance, public sector. If your business moves atoms, weather moves you. Tomorrow.io sells foresight, not forecasts. Their Resilience Platform does not ask what might happen. It models impact, automates response, and hands operators time back before the storm knocks.

There is a reason TIME named them one of the 100 Most Influential Companies. This is not climate theater. This is climate mechanics. When $320B in annual global losses are driven by weather, accuracy becomes a profit center and resilience becomes strategy.

Shimon Elkabetz, CEO, and team are not predicting tomorrow. They are building it, sensor by sensor, orbit by orbit, decision by decision. And the quiet part is this: once weather becomes software, every industry becomes a user. The atmosphere stops being background noise and starts acting like the loudest signal in the system.
