Earthmover, a climate tech startup, has announced a strategic pivot to focus on weather and geospatial data. The company's decision to shift its emphasis from a broad climate tech approach to immediate weather-related needs aims to address urgent data challenges in sectors like fire risks and renewable energy forecasting [1].The pivot has allowed Earthmover to better serve its clients by providing timely and relevant insights. The company's robust data storage platform, built on open-source software, now supports more than 10 paying customers. This platform is designed to handle large and complex datasets, making it versatile for various applications [1].
Earthmover has secured a $7.2 million seed funding round led by Lowercarbon Capital, with contributions from Costanoa Ventures and Preston-Werner Ventures. The funding will be used to develop new tools that build upon the existing data storage platform, further enhancing the company's offerings [1].

Earthmover's clientele includes innovative companies like Kettle, an insurance startup that assesses wildfire risks, and RWE, a prominent German energy firm. These organizations leverage Earthmover’s platform to navigate the uncertainties of weather, particularly in forecasting supply and demand for renewable energy sources [1].
The overarching goal of Earthmover is to democratize access to weather and geospatial data. By simplifying access to critical data, the company aims to empower more users to make informed decisions based on real-time weather insights [1].
