blackshark.ai: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

blackshark.ai provides powerful insights into the world by extracting information from satellite imagery fully automatically. A scalable artificial intelligence builds the core of the blackshark platform, detecting features with incredible precision and speed. A novel machine learning approach was developed to train a neural network for new features rapidly, enabling blackshark to serve various use cases in many different industries. Input sources supported: - satellite imagery - 2D photographs (aerial, street level, ...) - point clouds (photogrammetry or lidar) - HD map data - OSM - & more Examples for feature detection: - buildings (footprint, height, type, roof, orientation, facade) - vegetation - streets - land classification - flood detection - & more blackshark.ai can also fully automatically and semantically reconstruct detected features in 3D, using a patent-pending technology for efficiently storing and streaming petabytes of data. blackshark.ai is a team of 50+ data scientists, geospatial engineers, 3D rendering programmers and developers, based in San Francisco, US, and Graz, Austria. We are on a mission to answer questions such as: - Can my drone land in this backyard? - How many solar panels are installed in India? - How many tents does a certain refugee camp have? - How many cars are parked in a specific parking lot?

About FundedIQ's blackshark.ai Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for blackshark.ai is left off this page rather than filled in.
