Earthmover PBC, a New York-based software company defining the modern workflow for climate, weather, and other tensor data and founded by climate scientists and open source pioneers, announces its seed round of $7.2M to enable faster data exploration, AI/ML model development, and data product delivery for understanding, modeling, and predicting the physical world.

The funding announcement comes on the heels of Earthmover's recent launch of open-source data format Icechunk 1.0, geospatial API gateway product Flux, and ongoing collaboration with NASA which provided a 100x performance improvement in their retrieval of Earth observation data. The seed round was led by Lowercarbon Capital and joined by Costanoa Ventures and Preston-Werner Ventures.
