Earthmover’s Big Pivot: The Snowflake of Weather and Geospatial Data
Few things generate more data than observing the Earth from above. But as co-founders Ryan Abernathey and Joe Hamman quickly realized, raw data alone wasn’t enough to make their startup thrive. That’s why Earthmover wants to become the Snowflake of weather and geospatial data , reshaping how organizations use constantly changing insights to make decisions.

Instead of long-term climate projections, it’s now zeroing in on how climate impacts daily life — namely, the weather. “What makes a compelling use case for our platform? Data that change frequently,” Abernathey explained. “That’s where the urgency is — weather, fire, and new observations being generated every day.” Climate outputs remain important, but they often feel static, with new models released only every few years. By focusing on fast-moving weather and geospatial da…
