Listen "Novi"
Episode Synopsis
Next #GISchat is with Michael Bartholomeusz about NOVI. ✒️ https://open.substack.com/pub/geospatialindex/p/novi-and-a-new-venture-geospatial📽️ https://youtu.be/4z40_uU8gIsNovi describes themselves as an edge compute and space infrastructure company. They advise one can obtain these benefits: "get real-time earth observation data at a fraction of the cost with VISTAsat - a full-stack, next-generation compute and AI open-access constellation platform in space, specifically tailored for dynamic Earth Observation (EO), autonomy and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) applications."In a nutshell, earth observation involves producing an incredible amount of data. A lot of this is of no use. With compute available on the satellite, in space, one can vastly reduce the amount of data brought down for later use. This is by deploying algorithms at the point of capture to automatically detect what is needed in a given image, transmit that downstream, and nothing else.CEO Michael Bartholomeusz was an incredibly engaging speaker. He made effective use of props and metaphors to make the complex topic of edge compute in space easy to understand. It was a privilege to have his attention and find out how cheap it can be to run analyses in space and finally start to solve what the earth observation industry has struggled with: signals from a noisy planet.Thanks Michael.THE GEOSPATIAL INDEXThe Geospatial Index is a comprehensive listing of all publicly traded geospatial businesses worldwide. Why? The industry is growing at ~5.4% annually (after inflation and after adjusting for base rates). This rate varies significantly, however, by sub index. For ~$400,000 to start, this growth rate is $5,000,000 over a working life. This channel, Bluesky account, newsletter, watchlist and podcast express the view that you are serious about geospatial if you take the view of an investor, venture capitalist or entrepreneur. You are expected to do your own research. This is not a replacement for that. This is not investment advice. Consider it entertainment.NOT THE OPINION OF MY EMPLOYERNOT YOUR FIDUCIARYNOT INVESTMENT ADVICE Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/geospatial.fmLinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/geospatialfmWatchlist: https://www.tradingview.com/watchlists/123254792/Website: https://www.geospatial.fmNewsletter: https://www.geospatial.moneySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5gpQUsaWxEBpYCnypEdHFC
