Wefunder Wednesday: WeatherFlow-Tempest: Scaling Hyperlocal Intelligence via a Global Weather Network
WeatherFlow-Tempest uses a proprietary network of 85,000+ stations and AI to deliver precise weather data to over 150,000 customers, including Fortune 100 enterprises and government agencies.
In an era of increasing climate volatility, the demand for precise, localized atmospheric data has never been higher. Traditional weather forecasting often relies on government stations located miles apart, leaving significant gaps in hyperlocal accuracy. WeatherFlow-Tempest addresses this discrepancy by operating a managed network of over 85,000 proprietary weather stations, creating a dense data grid that captures minute-by-minute environmental changes at the source. This hardware-enabled network powers their proprietary Nearcast AI™, which translates raw observations into actionable intelligence for a broad demographic of users.
The company has evolved from a hardware manufacturer into a data-driven SaaS entity, serving a hybrid market of over 150,000 individual hobbyists and high-stakes enterprise clients. By bridging the gap between consumer hardware and institutional-grade analytics, the company aims to optimize resource management for sectors ranging from agriculture to energy. With 100 billion monthly observations and a track record of revenue growth, WeatherFlow-Tempest is now seeking to expand its global footprint through its latest community funding round on Wefunder.
