Coolant, a spin-out from MIT’s Climate and Energy Ventures, builds a Spatial AI platform that turns inexpensive commercial drone imagery into high-resolution 3D reconstructions of forests, farmland, coastlines and other economically critical landscapes. Its proprietary spatio-temporal model delivers actionable insights such as inventory, risk analysis, forecasting and optimized land-management strategies to farmers, conservation groups, forest managers and public agencies. The company’s technology is already deployed in 14 countries and is supporting projects like a 1,500-acre mangrove restoration in Puerto Rico with The Ocean Foundation’s Blue Resilience Initiative. By continually collecting drone scans, Coolant aims to assemble the world’s largest spatial dataset and eventually map every centimeter of the Earth’s surface. This ambitious data capture plan is intended to unlock richer, real-time ecosystem intelligence and broaden the platform’s commercial use cases across transportation, robotics and manufacturing. Financially, Coolant has secured $4.3 million in total Pre-Seed and Seed funding to accelerate product development and global expansion. No revenue or user figures were disclosed in the article, but the capital provides runway for scaling data collection and advancing its 3D reconstruction models.
