If you remember the ship that blocked the Suez Canal in 2021, you would remember the global chaos it had created. The extensive effect on international trade and the impact on the GDPs of various countries was alarming. Turns out, one of the major issues that caused the chaos was the lack of proper real-time imaging of the oceans and trade routes. This particular incident and a few more regarding smuggling, unsanctioned global trade, piracy, illegal fishing, and oil spills (that's a lot, yes) have made Gaurav Seth and Vinit Bansal understand the necessity of real-time ocean surveillance. Hence, PierSight Space was born, with the goal of providing 30-minute interval monitoring capabilities to shipping, insurance, defense, coastguard, oil and gas, and other organizations that rely on maritime intelligence. They aim to achieve this by integrating SAR and AIS imaging technologies in their sensors. This enables them to cover 100% of the ocean, even through cloud cover and darkness. PierSight Space was selected for the Techstars 3-month Accelerator Program in 2023. Around the same time, they raised their pre-see round of $600k led by All In Capital with participation from Techstars and a few more angel investors. Moving to early 2024, they raised their seed round of $6 Million, co-led by Elevation Capital & Alpha Wave Global, with more participation from Techstars. The startup is building its first satellite and wishes to launch aboard the ISRO's PSLV Orbital Experimental Module (POEM) to test its systems this year. It's an exciting time in India's space tech sector with multiple startups pioneering in observation satellites like PierSight Space with SAR+AIS, Pixxel with Hyperspectral Imaging, and GalaxEye with SAR+Radar. #startup #space #tech #spacetech #india #entreprenuer #funding #satellite #trade #piersight #techstars #elevationcapital #allincapital #alphawaveglobal #innovation
