Danti, an Atlanta, GA-based Earth data search engine provider, raised $2.75M in Pre-Seed funding.
The round was led by Tech Square Ventures with participation from Radius Capital, Philip Krim and Raven One Ventures, Space.VC, Overline, Tareyton Ventures, Jordan Noone, Keith Masback, and Jeff Crusey.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate development of its search engine technology for deployment with U.S. intelligence and defense customers, along with commercial partners in the property, insurance, and large scale infrastructure space.
Led by Jesse Kallman, CEO, and Martice Nicks, CTO, Danti is a Earth data search engine that enables expert and non-expert users alike to pose questions about physical places on the planet and instantly gain access to information generated daily by satellites, drones, analytics firms, social media, etc.
Along with the funding, the company also announced that it has won an open challenge put out by the National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) and sponsored by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) titled geoSpatial Environment for Access, Retrieval & Content Hosting (“gSEARCH”). The gSEARCH program is focused on the search and discovery of multi-formatted geospatial content within government-managed and commercial data repositories. Danti’s technology was awarded the top prize for its ability to enable non-expert users with no geospatial background to quickly prioritize, analyze, and organize information into action. This program is now underway, and Danti is working alongside NGA and various DoD partners to provide a critical search tool to those protecting the US.
