What does Spaceknow do?
Spaceknow is a satellite data analytics company with a mission to bring transparency to the global economy. At the moment we offer several analytics products. Our flagship product is Spaceknow Analytics, which is an online interface accessible through our website. It provides an one-point access to the largest archive of historical satellite imagery in the world, which enables users to analyze any location on Earth. Not only that users can view historical satellite imagery, but they can also observe changes across time, count cars or view social media photos tagged at a given location. Another of our products is Watchdog that automatically monitors locations and then sends users alerts once new satellite imagery is released. We also develop trading indices that are based on satellite imagery thanks to which they are completely unbiased and highly reliable. For example, our China Satellite Manufacturing Index (SMI), which is featured on the Bloomberg Terminal, provides traders with alternative data to China’s official data. And, of course, we also provide personalized solutions.
Why did you founded Spaceknow?
Pavel Machalek and Jerry Javornicky founded Spaceknow together to help the world’s firms, governments, NGOs and individuals to track, measure and optimize the flow of global commerce. Using satellite technology Spaceknow’s team seeks to bring prosperity, security and peace to the world by making the global economy more transparent.
