Satellites On Fire

Satellites On Fire is an innovative wildfire detection startup that utilizes satellite imagery, cameras, and AI to provide an early alert system that is faster and more accurate than NASA's offerings. Their breakthrough technology can detect any fire within a maximum delay of just 10 minutes, playing a crucial role in reducing biodiversity losses and CO2 emissions caused by wildfires globally.

The company was founded by a remarkably young yet talented team of co-founders - Franco Viau (CEO), Ulises Pacholczak (CTO), and Joaquin Chamo (CPO).

Despite their youth, they have already demonstrated exceptional capabilities, winning accolades like representing Argentina at the International Olympiad in Informatics and being shortlisted among the 40 under 40 global innovators.

Wildfires represent a massive $20 billion annual problem worldwide, causing over 300,000 premature deaths per year from emitted pathogens. As climate change intensifies, the vicious cycle of fires releasing CO2 and accelerating warming creates an urgent need for Satellites On Fire's solutions.
