Hydrosat Secures $60 Million To Accelerate Global Expansion
Hydrosat, a provider of thermal infrared satellite data and AI-powered analytics, has announced the close of $60 million in new funding to support its expansion across commercial, civil government, and defense sectors. The round was led by Hartree Partners, Subutai Capital Partners, and Space 4 Earth, with new participation from Truffle Capital. Existing investors, including the Luxembourg Future Fund, OTB Ventures, Blue Bear Capital, Statkraft Ventures, Cultivation Capital, and Santa Barbara Venture Partners, also contributed follow-on capital.
The total financing reflects Hydrosat’s core Series B round alongside additional equity investments, highlighting continued investor confidence in the company’s growth trajectory and technology platform.
“We’re seeing remarkable momentum behind Hydrosat’s mission,” said Pieter Fossel, Chief Executive Officer of Hydrosat. “This new funding underscores the company’s sustained growth and positions us to meet the increasing demand for intelligent solutions to some of society’s most complex challenges in national security and natural resources.”
Hydrosat's Thermal Intelligence For Water, Agriculture, And Resource Management
Hydrosat delivers daily, field-scale thermal intelligence that enables governments and enterprises to monitor water use, optimize irrigation, and identify early indicators of vegetation stress and drought. As water scarcity increasingly impacts agricultural productivity and economic stability, these capabilities are becoming central to decision-making at both regional and national levels.
With two thermal infrared satellites currently in orbit, Hydrosat’s imaging capacity exceeds 10 million square kilometers per day. This represents a significant increase compared to existing commercial alternatives. The company integrates artificial intelligence and machine learning models to transform raw thermal data into actionable insights for agribusinesses, governments, and research institutions.
“Hydrosat’s data is rapidly becoming essential infrastructure for managing water resources,” said George Potts, Head of Hartree Partners’ Technology Investment Business. “By providing continuous insights into irrigation patterns and best practices, the company gives stakeholders the clarity they need to build resilience.”
Applications Across Defense, Insurance, And Emerging Markets
In addition to agricultural and civil applications, Hydrosat’s thermal imagery supports defense and intelligence organizations by revealing temperature-based signals not visible in conventional satellite imagery, regardless of time of day.
“We’re entering a new era where space-based intelligence is becoming fundamental infrastructure,” said Bozena Adamczyk, Partner at Truffle Capital. She noted Hydrosat’s relevance across SpaceTech, DefenseTech, AgriTech, and InsurTech, particularly for agricultural and water risk assessment.
